Zooplankton
This document defines and describes various types of plankton found in marine environments. It discusses plankton in terms of their trophic levels (herbivores, carnivores, detritivores, omnivores), life cycles (holoplankton vs meroplankton), and taxonomic groups (protists, radiolarians, ciliates, jellyfish, copepods, krill, appendicularians). It also describes plankton larvae stages (nauplius, copepodite), sediments formed from plankton shells (radiolarian ooze, pteropod ooze), and depth zones in the ocean (epipelagic, mesopelagic
Life History And Embryogenesis
The document summarizes key stages in animal embryogenesis including fertilization, cleavage, blastulation, gastrulation, and neurulation. During fertilization, a sperm fuses with an egg to form a zygote. Cleavage involves cell divisions that form a ball of cells or blastula. Gastrulation establishes the three germ layers through cell movements. It occurs differently depending on egg characteristics like yolk content. Neurulation transforms the gastrula into a neurula by forming the neural tube from ectoderm.
invertebrates : mollusca
This document summarizes key characteristics of the phylum Mollusca. It describes the 9 main classes of molluscs: Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, Scaphopoda, Monoplacophora, Polyplacophora, Aplacophora. The classes vary in body structure, shell morphology, habitat, locomotion and other traits. Molluscs display a range of ecologically and economically important roles including as human food sources, sources of pearls, and intermediate hosts of parasites.
Clear Concept in Phylum Mollusca
The document discusses several aspects of mollusca:
1. It provides a classification of mollusca into 6 main classes based on their symmetry, characters, and features.
2. It describes key external features of several molluscan species including chiton, cuttlefish, freshwater mussel, and sepia.
3. It discusses the economic importance of molluscs as a food source and in industries, and also mentions some harmful molluscs.
Digestive system of reptiles, birds and mammals
The document summarizes and compares the digestive systems of reptiles, birds, and mammals. Reptiles have teeth on multiple jaw bones and a muscular tongue. Birds lack teeth and have a two-part stomach. Mammals have different types of teeth and specialized salivary glands. While differences exist, the basic components and functions of the digestive tract are similar across these groups, from mouth to anus.
Axolotls
The document provides an introduction to axolotls. It states that axolotls are also known as the Mexican Walking Fish or Water Dragon, and are the juvenile form of a salamander. Axolotls come from two lakes near Mexico City, but their habitat has deteriorated and they are now critically endangered. They can regenerate lost body parts and remain in their juvenile form even after sexual maturity. The document provides details on axolotl anatomy, habitat, costs of keeping them as pets, and their ability to regenerate tissues.
Porifera Spicules.pptx
Skeletal structures in sponges are spicules and spongin fibers. Spicules are formed of calcium carbonate or silica and take needle-like forms. Spongin fibers are composed of a silk-like scleroprotein. Spicules come in two types - megascleres, which form the framework, and microscleres, which are scattered. Megascleres include monaxons, tetraxons, triaxons, polyaxons and spheres. Spicules develop from mesenchyme cells called scleroblasts. Spongin is an organic, elastic substance similar to collagen that forms the skeletal fibers.
Biological classification

Reproduction in protozoa
Protozoa can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction occurs through binary fission, multiple fission, budding, or plasmotomy. During binary fission, the protozoan undergoes karyokinesis and cytokinesis to form two daughter cells. There are four types of binary fission: longitudinal, transverse, irregular, and oblique. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes through processes like syngamy, conjugation, or endomixis. This introduces genetic variation and allows protozoa to survive unfavorable conditions. Important protozoa like Plasmodium reproduce using both asexual and sexual life cycles to complete their development within the host.
The bivalves
The document summarizes key information about bivalves, including their anatomy, habitat, feeding, reproduction, pearl formation, and internal anatomy. Bivalves have two shells held together by adductor muscles, gills for oxygen intake from water, and a mantle that secretes their shell. Most bivalves are sessile filter feeders that live on or burrow into the seafloor, though some like mussels and scallops can attach or swim. They have separate sexes and external fertilization and development. Pearls sometimes form as a protective response in oysters.
History of fossils; process of Fossilization
This document discusses the history of fossils and the process of fossilization. It explains that fossils form when organisms are buried rapidly in sediment after death. The sediment protects the remains from decay and erosion. Over time, minerals replace the original material. Fossils are exposed after erosion removes overlying rock layers. Only a small fraction of organisms fossilize, requiring hard parts, rapid burial, and a suitable preservation environment like sediment, tar, ice, or amber. Marine environments provide many opportunities for fossilization compared to land.
Axolotl slide show
The axolotl is a carnivorous amphibian found near Mexico City that retains larval features such as external gills into adulthood. It is endangered due to habitat loss. Axolotls come in albino, white, and other color mutations and have small legs and feet but a long tail with fins extending from the head and hind legs to the tail tip. They were formerly known as Rhyacosiredon and eat worms and small fish at night.

are worm-like parasites. The clinically relevant groups are separated according to their general external shape and the host organ they inhabit. There are both hermaphroditic and bisexual species.
The definitive classification is based on the external and internal morphology of egg, larval, and adult stages.
Helminth is a general term meaning worm. The helminths are invertebrates characterized by elongated, flat or round bodies.
In flatworms or platyhelminths (platy from the Greek root meaning “flat”) include flukes and tapeworms.
Roundworms are nematodes (nemato from the Greek root meaning “thread”).
Lec5 Dinophyceae
The document summarizes key details about dinoflagellates:
- Dinoflagellates are unicellular plankton that are 90% marine, with some freshwater and symbiotic species. About half are photosynthetic.
- They reproduce primarily asexually through mitosis, though some reproduce sexually. Their cell coverings can be armored or unarmored.
- Some species produce bioluminescence or toxins that can harm humans and fish. Dinoflagellate blooms can discolor water.
- Dinoflagellate cysts are found in sedimentary rocks from the Triassic period to present.
ABIDA aquaculture and public health - Copy.pptx
ABIDA aquaculture and public health - Copy.pptxNational University of Science and Technology Islamabad
Aquaculture has a long history dating back to 2000 BC in China. While it provides important health benefits like protein and nutrients, it can also negatively impact public health through various contaminants. Key contaminants of concern from aquaculture include antibiotics, which contribute to antibiotic resistance, and persistent organic pollutants that accumulate up the food chain. Ensuring safe aquaculture practices through measures like proper hygiene, water quality management, and clean equipment is important to protect public health.Kingdom Animalia
This document provides information about the characteristics of animals and describes several animal phyla. It begins by defining animals as eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that ingest nutrients and digest food internally. It then discusses invertebrate phyla including sponges, cnidarians, molluscs, flatworms, annelids, roundworms, and arthropods, providing details on key characteristics and examples for each. It also addresses animal phylogeny and classification.
Planktone
Plankton are small organisms that drift or float in the water and are transported by currents. They include phytoplankton, which are microscopic plants, and zooplankton, which are microscopic animals. Phytoplankton are the base of the ocean food web and produce around 50-90% of the oxygen in our atmosphere through photosynthesis. Despite their small size, plankton play a vital role in the global carbon and oxygen cycles. They are found throughout the sunlit surface waters of the oceans and support marine ecosystems by providing an energy source for many aquatic animals.
History of classification
Classification of living things is organized using taxonomy to group organisms according to their biological similarities. There are over 2.5 million known living things on Earth. Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of binomial nomenclature in the 1700s using the genus and species of each organism. This was an improvement over earlier classification systems as it used consistent Latin names to universally identify organisms rather than common names that varied between languages and regions. Modern taxonomy still uses Linnaeus' seven-level classification system moving from broadest to most specific of: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Excretory system of fishes
The document summarizes the anatomy and histology of the excretory system in fish. It describes the key parts of the system - the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. It discusses the structure and functions of the different regions of the kidney, including the head kidney which is hematopoietic and endocrine, and the trunk kidney which is excretory. It also describes the histology of the nephrons, ureters, and other tissues like the corpuscles of Stannius. Overall, the document provides a detailed overview of the excretory system and kidney structure-function relationships in fish.
30 Lecture Ppt
The document summarizes the key functions and components of the lymphatic system, including its role in transporting lymph and defending the body against pathogens through both nonspecific and specific immune responses. The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and other lymphatic tissues. It helps remove excess fluid from tissues, absorb fats, and transports white blood cells that help fight infection and disease. Both innate immune responses involving barriers, complement proteins, and phagocytes, as well as adaptive responses centered around B cells, T cells, and antibody production contribute to the lymphatic system's defense of the body.
27 Lecture Ppt
The document discusses the five main categories of sensory receptors in organisms: chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, nociceptors, electromagnetic receptors, and thermoreceptors. It focuses on the sensory receptors for taste, smell, sight, hearing, balance, touch, and temperature regulation in humans and other animals. Sensory receptors detect stimuli, convert the stimuli to nerve impulses, and send those impulses to the central nervous system for processing.

Pollution ppt for demo teaching
The document discusses different types of pollution including air, land, and water pollution. It provides details on the causes, effects, and ways to prevent each type of pollution. Some key points include:
- Air pollution occurs when harmful gases, dust, fumes or odors are introduced into the atmosphere, making the air dirty. Burning fossil fuels and chemicals from household/farming products are major causes. Effects include health impacts and damage to plants and wildlife.
- Land pollution results from improper waste disposal and use of chemicals. Agricultural and industrial waste, along with construction and mining activities, contaminate the land. Polluted land can cause respiratory issues, cancer, and contaminated food and water sources.
-
Evolution and adaptation
Evolution occurs over many generations as organisms adapt to changing environments through natural selection. The fossil record provides evidence of how ancient organisms differed from modern ones and how life has changed over time. Fossils, comparative anatomy, embryology, and DNA evidence all support the theory of evolution by indicating shared ancestry among groups of organisms.
How do an organism’s trait help it survive
Animals adapt in different ways to survive in their environments. Some camouflage by blending in with their surroundings, like polar bears and chameleons. Desert animals adapt through traits like long ears and underground roots. Forest plants have drip tips or large leaves to cope with rainfall or lack of sunlight. Animals use mimicry, hibernation, stinky sprays or migration. Ocean life adapts through structures that provide flotation, lighting or attachment to surfaces. Wetland plants and animals evolve traits suited to their muddy soil or ability to move between land and water.
Conquering Parkinson's One Micron at a Time
The document proposes using nanotechnology to design biocomputers called nanites to treat Parkinson's disease. The nanites would be less than 10 micrometers in size and target the neuromuscular junction to restore muscle function in Parkinson's patients. The goals are to control muscle function, determine how to program and power the nanites, and evaluate them safely through clinical trials to drastically improve the lives of Parkinson's patients without side effects.
Plants and animals depend on each other. (teach 2nd/3rd grade)
This document discusses interdependency between living things. It explains that babies are dependent on others for their needs but the relationship is not interdependent. Animals depend on plants for food, oxygen, and shelter. Plants and animals create an interdependent relationship where plants provide oxygen and food/habitat for animals, and animals in turn provide carbon dioxide and help plants reproduce and disperse seeds. The relationship between plants and animals is one of interdependency.
Animal adaptations-ppt
This document discusses animal adaptations, separating them into two categories: physical and behavioral. Physical adaptations are body structures like camouflage, mimicry, body coverings, and chemical defenses that help animals survive. Behavioral adaptations are animals' actions that can be instinctive, like finding shelter or raising young, or learned through interacting with the environment. Together, physical and behavioral adaptations allow animals to find food, defend themselves, and reproduce in their environments.

Section 8 - Cell Reproduction
The document summarizes key facts about cellular reproduction and the cell cycle. It explains that the cell cycle consists of interphase (G1, S, G2 phases) and mitosis (M phase including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase). During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. Mitosis divides the cell into two identical daughter cells. Meiosis produces gametes through two cell divisions and reduces chromosome number by half to produce haploid cells. Fertilization fuses gametes to form a diploid zygote and restart the cell cycle.
Section 9 - Genetics
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who conducted early experiments with pea plants that formed the basis of genetics. Through his experiments, he discovered that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units (now known as genes) and that some traits are dominant over others. He developed the laws of segregation and independent assortment to describe inheritance patterns. Mendel's work established genetics as a science and he is considered the father of genetics.
Section 7 - Cell Energy
Cellular energy is stored in ATP, which is composed of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups. ATP breaks down into ADP and a phosphate group, releasing energy. Cellular respiration uses oxygen to break down glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP through three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle in mitochondria, and the electron transport chain on mitochondrial membranes. Without oxygen, some cells perform anaerobic respiration through lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation. Photosynthesis uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen through light-dependent and light-independent reactions. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are essentially reverse processes.
Section 4 - Biochemistry
This document provides 40 factoids about organic chemistry and biochemistry. It defines organic chemistry as the study of carbon compounds produced by living things. It notes that organic molecules contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and that polymers are macromolecules made of monomers.

Section7
Cellular energy is stored in ATP, which is made of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups. ATP breaks down into ADP and phosphate, releasing energy. Cellular respiration uses oxygen to break down glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP through three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle in mitochondria, and the electron transport chain on mitochondrial membranes. Without oxygen, some cells perform anaerobic respiration through lactic acid fermentation in muscles or alcoholic fermentation in yeast. Photosynthesis uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen through light-dependent and light-independent reactions.
Section6
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some substances to enter and leave the cell. The phospholipid molecules that make up the cell membrane have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. There are two types of cellular transport: passive transport, which moves substances down a concentration gradient without energy, and active transport, which moves substances against a concentration gradient and requires energy. The three types of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, while active transport includes exocytosis, endocytosis, and various pumps.
Section5
This document outlines 64 facts about cellular structure and function, tissues, organs, and organ systems. It notes that prokaryotic cells lack nuclei while eukaryotic cells have nuclei that contain DNA and control the cell's activities. It describes the structures and functions of organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and cell membrane. It also distinguishes characteristics of plant and animal cells and defines the four basic tissue types, examples of organs, and the 11 human body systems.
Section10
DNA controls the production of proteins in cells and contains the genetic instructions passed down from parents. It is made up of nucleotides that form the shape of a twisted ladder. In 1953, Watson and Crick determined that DNA has a double helix structure. Three types of RNA - mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA - help in the process of protein synthesis by transcribing DNA and transporting amino acids. The sequence of nucleotides in DNA is read in groups of three to determine which amino acid each codon codes for.
Section9
1. Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who performed experiments with garden peas and established the basic principles of genetics through his work.
2. Mendel showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring according to dominant and recessive alleles, and predicted inheritance patterns through experiments and statistical analysis.
3. Key terms and concepts that emerged from Mendel's work include genes, alleles, genotypes, phenotypes, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, dominance, segregation, independent assortment, and his laws of inheritance. Mendel's findings formed the foundation of classical and modern genetics.
Section14
1) Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection after observing evidence during his voyage on the HMS Beagle and being influenced by Thomas Malthus' ideas about population growth.
2) Darwin proposed that species evolve over generations through natural selection of heritable traits that aid survival and reproduction in their environments.
3) Other influential early evolutionists included Jean-Baptiste Lamarck who proposed the inheritance of acquired traits, Charles Lyell who demonstrated the power of geologic forces over long periods, and James Hutton who viewed the Earth as shaped by gradual processes over deep time.
Section13
The document provides 232 factoids about the different kingdoms, phyla, classes and examples of organisms within the Animal Kingdom. It describes the key characteristics of sponges, jellyfish, flatworms, roundworms, mollusks, annelids, arthropods, echinoderms, and the seven classes within the Chordata phylum.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
