Biodiversity
Biodiversity, generally refers to the variety
and variability oflifeon Earth. One of the
most widely used definitions defines it in
terms of the variability within species,
between species, and between
ecosystems.It is a measure of the variety of
organismspresent in differentecosystems.
This can refer togenetic variation,
ecosystem variation, orspeciesvariation
within an area,biome, orplanet.
 Kingdom
It became the basis for newer multi-
kingdom systems such as the six-kingdom
system of Carl Woese and colleagues in
1977.

 Flowering Plants
Theflowering plants(angiosperms),
also known
asAngiospermaeorMagnoliophyta,
are the most diverse group of
Like
land gymnosperms, angiosperms
plants, with about 350,000 are
seed-producing
species . plants; they are
distinguished from gymnosperms by
characteristics. Flowering plants made
up of monocotyledon and dicotyledon.

 Monocotyledon
Monocotyledons, commonly
referred to asmonocots, are
flowering plantswhoseseed s
typically contain only oneembryonic
leaf, orcotyledon.
They constitute one of the major
groups into which the flowering
plants have traditionally been
divided, the rest of the flowering
plants having two cotyledons and
therefore classified asdicotyledons
, or dicots.
 Dicotyledon
Thedicotyledons , also known asdicots(or
more rarelydicotyls), were one of the two
groups into which all theflowering plantsor
angiosperms were formerly divided.

The name refers to one of the typical

characteristics of the group, namely
that theseedhas two embryonic
leaves orcotyledons. There are
around 200,000specieswithin this
group.

 Algae
Algaeis an informal term for a large, diverse
group ofeukaryotesthat are not necessarily
closely related and are thuspolyphyletic.
Includedorganismsrange from
unicellulargenera, such asChlorella
and thediatoms, tomulticellular
forms, such as thegiant kelp, a large
brown algathat may grow up to
50meters in length.
Exampl
e:
 Fungi
Afungiis any member of the group of
eukaryoticorganisms that includes
unicellular microorganisms such as
yeastsandmolds, as well as multicellular
fungi that produce familiar fruiting forms
known asmushrooms.
These organisms are classified as a
kingdom,Fungi, which is separate from
the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of
plantsandanimals.
Exampl
e:
 Moss
Mossesare smallflowerlessplantsthat
typically grow in dense green clumps or
mats, often in damp or shady locations.
The individual plants are usually
composed of simple, one-cell thickleaves
, attached to astemthat may be
branched or unbranched and has only a
limited role in conducting water and
nutrients.
Example:
 Fern
Afernis a member of a group of about
12,000speciesofvascular plantsthat
reproduce viasporesand have neither
seedsnorflowers. They differ from
mossesby being vascular (i.e. having
water-conducting vessels).
They have branchedstemsandleaves,
like other vascular plants, but these are
megaphylls.

 Protists
Protistsare the members of an informal
grouping of diverseeukaryoticorganismsthat
are notanimals,plantsorfungi. They do not
form a natural group, orclade, but are often
grouped together for convenience, likealgae
orinvertebrates.
