  • Divided into three main branches: Zoology (study of animals), Phytology (study of plants), and Microbiology (study of microorganisms).

Organisms and Viruses

  • Living organisms are divided into six kingdoms, excluding viruses.
  • Viruses are very small, ranging from 30-300Nm in diameter, and are not classified into any kingdoms due to their ambiguous nature, sometimes resembling living and sometimes inanimate objects.

Kingdoms of Organisms

  • Prokaryotic kingdoms:
  • Archaebacteria
  • Eubacteria
  • Eukaryotic kingdoms:
  • Protista
  • Fungi (mycota)
  • Animalia
  • Plantae

Classification and Taxonomy

  • Hierarchical ranking system:
  • Kingdom
  • Division
  • Class
  • Order
  • Family
