This document discusses key concepts about the living world, including what defines living things, diversity of organisms, and taxonomy. It notes that living things grow, metabolize, reproduce, and are conscious. There are estimated to be 1.7-1.8 million known plant and animal species. Taxonomy is the process of classifying organisms into different categories by scientific name, from kingdom down to species. The scientific naming process follows set conventions, with Latin binomial nomenclature using the genus and specific epithet. Taxonomy aids like herbaria, botanical gardens, and keys help study and identify various plant and animal species.

2. WHAT IS LIVING?
WHAT IS LIVING?
Living things grow
They perform the metabolism activities
like -nutrition, respiration, transportation
,etc.
Living things reproduces
Living thing have the power of the
consciousness

3. DIVERSITY-IT IS THE DIFFERENT NUMBER OF
THE ORGANISMS
THESE MAY BE THE PLANTS AND ANIMALS

4. NUMBER OF THE SPECIES-1.7 TO 1.8 MILLION OF THE
PLANTS ,AND ANIMALS

6. NAMING OF THE ORGANIMS-
THERE ARE TWO NAMES OF EACH
PLANTS AND THE ANIMALS
SCIENTIFIC NAME
COMMON NAME
FOR EXAMPLE -MANGO IS THE
COMMON NAME ,AND
MANGIFERA INDICA IS THE
SCIENTIFIC NAME OF THE
MANGO

7. Nomenclature-it is the naming of the living organisms
Binomial nomenclature-
It has the two name
Generic or specific epithet
genus or species name

10. There are several categories in the classification
Kingdom it is the highest category
Phylum or division it is the level of the classification or
the taxnomic rank below the kingdom and above the class
Class -it is the group of the related order
Order -it is the group of the related families :- felidae -
(cat )
canidae(dog)

11. Family- it is the group of the related genera
Genus it is the group of the related species which has more
character in common in the comparison to the species of the
other genera
Species-it is the group of individual organisms with the
fundamental similarities known as the species

13. Taxonomical aids;-it is the study of the various species of the plants
,animals and the other organisms require the correct classification and
identification
of the organisms require the laboratory and field studies
The other taxonomic aids are :-herberium
Botanical garden
Museums
Zoological parks
keys
