1.What is diversity of living organism?

Biodiversity is the variety of different types of living organism in a particular area.

2.What is classification of living thing organism?

The classification is the grouping of objects into sets according to one or more common properties or characteristics.

Classification of animals
-Animals can be also be classified into two group: (a) Vertebrates (b) Invertebrates -Animals with backbones are called vertebrates -Animals without backbones are called invertebrates

Vertebrates
-Vertebrates are divided into five main groups. five groups are fish,bird,mammals reptiles and amphibians.
-The

Fish

Characteristic of fish. -Their bodies are covered with hard and slimy scales for protection. -They are cold-blooded as thier bodytemperature changes according to the surroundingtemperature. Examples:Eels,Seahorse and Clownfish

Birds

-Birds are the only animal with feathers. -They are warm-blooded,that is,their body temperature does not change with me environment -Birds breathe with their lungs Examples: a)Owls b)Ducks c)Chicken d)Sparrows

MAMMALS

Characteristics of Mammals
-Mammals are warm-blooded animals. Their bodies are covered -Their bodies are covered with fur or hair. -They breath with their lungs. -Examples:Bats,Whales,Dolphins,Cows

Reptiles

Characteritics of Reptiles
-All reptiles are have dry,scaly,skins to prevent their body from losing too much of water to the environment -Reptiles are cold blooded and breathe through lungs. -Examples:Crocodiles,Snakes,turtles and lizards

Amphibians

Characteristics of Amphibians
-They ussualy have loose ad moist skin. -Amphibians are called cold-blooded animals. -Examples:Frogs,Toads,Salamanders and Newts

INVERTEBRATES

-Invertebrates can be broadly classified into two groups. -The two groups are those with jointed legs and those without jointed legs

Invertebrates with jointed legs

Invertebrates without jointed legs -Worm like -Non-worm like

Clasification of Plants

-Plants are classified into two groups: a)flowering plants b)non-flowering plants -those with flowers are called flowering plants

Flowering plants

Characteristics of flowering plants

-Produces flowers under the right conditions. -Have roots,stems and leaves

Flowering plants group

Characteristics of Monocotyledons.
-The stem re soft and not woody. -Have fibrous roots. -The leaves are parallel veins. -Examples:Maize, Lily and Orchid.

Flowerig plants groups.

Characteristics of Dicotyledons.
-have main roots and a lot of branching roots. -the stems are hard and woody. -The leaes are have a network veins. -Examples:Balsam,Sunflower and Rose.

Non-Flowering plants

Characteristics of Non-Flowering. -Do not produces flowers.

-Reproduces by seds or spores

The importance of biodiversity to the environment.

-Biodiversity contributes or wealth of resoures such as food,fuels,timber,shelter,spices,herbs, clothing and maintenance. -It also maintains natural cycles like the cabon cyle,the oxygen and the water cyle. -The importance of biodiversity are: a)Source of medicines and herbs. b)source of raw clean water. c)source of raw materials d)source of fresh air. e)source of food. f)source of genetic diversity.
