Study Notes

Speaker is starting a new chapter about the diversity of living organisms.
There are various types of organisms on Earth, including humans, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and plants.
Approximately 1.9 million species have been identified on Earth.
India is home to many unique animal and plant species.
To understand living organisms, it's important to know what biodiversity is.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms that exist on Earth.
The speaker plans to cover the understanding of living organisms and biodiversity in the chapter.- Approximately 9 million species exist, with scientists working to identify and name them.
The scientific process of naming animals began with the need for a common language, starting with the identification of an elephant.
Classification is the arrangement of organisms into categories based on their characteristics.
The process of naming animals involves two parts: genus and species.
Carl Linnaeus was a Swedish scientist who developed the first comprehensive classification system.
Binomial nomenclature is the system used to name species, with the genus named first and the species following.
The naming of animals is based on their Greek roots, with the genus name capitalized and the species name italicized.
The Domain system of classification groups organisms into three major domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Prokaryotes are microorganisms that lack a nucleus and are typically unicellular.
Budding and fission are two modes of reproduction in organisms, with budding producing a new organism from an existing one and fission dividing an organism in two.
Proteus organisms are unicellular or multicellular eukaryotes with membrane-bound organelles.
Fungi are multicellular organisms with a mycelium structure and chitin cell walls.
Fungi obtain nutrition by breaking down dead or decaying organic matter.
Reproduction in fungi can occur sexually or asexually, with vegetative reproduction allowing for the growth of new organisms from a detached part.
Yeast, a common type of fungus, is used in the production of bread and other food items.
