This document discusses biodiversity and the classification of living organisms. It begins by defining biodiversity as the variety of living things, including humans, animals, plants and microorganisms. It then discusses how organisms can be classified into groups based on their characteristics. The rest of the document provides details on the classification of major kingdoms of living organisms such as animals, plants, fungi and protists. It describes the characteristics and examples of groups within these kingdoms like mammals, birds, fish, angiosperms and gymnosperms.

2. 
 DIVERSITY OF LIVING ORGANISM
 -LIVING THINGS OR ORGANISM CONSIST OF
HUMAN,ANIMALS,PLANTS AND MICROORGANISM.
 -DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTIC THAT EXIST
BETWEEN ORGANISMS OF SAME SPECIES ARE
KNOWN AS VARIATION.
 THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OR THE PLACE
WHERE ORGANISM LIVE IS CALLED HABITAT.
3.1 VARIETY OF LIVING ORGANISM AND THEIR
CLASSIFICATIONS

HABITAT OF DIFFERENT
ANIMALS

4. 
 THERE ARE VARIETIES OF ORGANISMS ON
EARTH AND A SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO
IDENTIFY THEM.
 ORGANISMS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO
DIFFERENT GROUP BASED ON THEIR COMMON
CHARACTERISTICS AND THIS IS KNOWN AS
CLASSIFICATION.
CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING THINGS

5. 
 ANIMALS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO VERTEBRATES AND
INVERTEBRATES.
ANIMALS
-VERTEBRATES:MAMMAL,REPTILES,AMPHIBIAN,BIRD,FISH
-INVERTEBRATES
CLASSIFICATION OF ANIMALS

6. 
VERTEBRATES INVERTEBRATES
WITH BACKBONES WITHOUT BACKBONES
USING BACKBONES TO
SUPPORT THEIR BODIES
HAVE HARD OUTER
SKIN,SHELL OR BODY FLUID TO
SUPPORT THEIR BODIES
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VERTEBRATES AND
INVERTEBRATES

7. 
 VERTEBRATES CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO FIVE
GROUPS:
 =MAMMALS
 =REPTILES
 =AMPHIBIANS
 =BIRDS
 =FISH
VERTEBRATES

8.  WARM BLOODED
 BODIES IS COVERED WITH FUR
 BREATHE THROUGH LUNGS.
 ALL MAMMAL GIVES BIRTH TO LIVE YOUNG EXCEPT
PLATYPUS AND SPINY ANTEATER,WHICH LAY EGGS.
 CARRY OUT INTERNAL FERTILISATIONS.
 MOST MAMMALS LIVE ON LAND BUT THER SOME
MAMMALS THAT LIVES IN WATER
CHARACTERISTIC OF MAMMAL

 LAY EGGS ON LANDS.
 HAVE TWO PAIRS OF LEG EXCEPT SNAKES.
CHARACTERISTIC OF REPTILES

11. 

18. 
 INVERTEBRATES ARE A GROUP OF ANIMALS
WITHOUT BACKBONES.
 INVERTEBRATES CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS:
=WITH LEG
=WITHOUT LEG
INVERTEBRATES

19. 
 3 PAIRS OF LEGS
INVERTEBRATES WITH LEG

20. 
4 PAIRS OF LEGS

21. 

22. 
 WITH SHELL
INVERTEBRATES WITHOUT LEGS

23. 

24. 
 PLANTS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO FLOWERING
PLANTS AND NON-FLOWERING PLANTS.
 FLOWERING PLANTS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO
TWO GROUPS:
-MONOCOTYLEDONOUS PLANT
-DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANT
CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS

25. 

DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANT

26. 
 IT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR GROUPS:
=MOSSES
=ALGAE
=FERNS
=CONIFERS
NON-FLOWERING

27. 
