Estimated Number of Animal and Plant Species on Earth Believe it or not‚ there are about 950‚000 species of insects No one knows for sure how many species of animals exist on Earth. In fact‚ some 10‚000 species of animals are discovered each year‚ with over one and a half million species already described. Projections for the total number of species on Earth range from 2 million to 50 million. Animal group Number of species Vertebrates Amphibians 6‚199 Birds 9‚956 Fish 30‚000 Mammals

Green Algae...Vascular Plants b. Prokaryotes....Eukaryotes a. Green Algae and Vascular Plants have clear evolutionary relationships. Both Green algae and vascular plants have many similarities displaying this fact. Just a few of these similarities include that both groups have chloroplasts with chlorophyll

Plants‚ also called green plants (Viridiplantae in Latin)‚ are living organisms of the kingdom Plantae including such multicellular groups as flowering plants‚ conifers‚ ferns and mosses‚ as well as‚ depending on definition‚ the green algae‚ but not red or brown seaweeds like kelp‚ nor fungi or bacteria. Green plants have cell walls with cellulose and characteristically obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis using chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts‚ which gives them their

12‚500 B.C.E‚ the domestication of animals and plants first arose. The domestication of animals and plants allowed early humans to manipulate the standard of living and heredity of plants and animals. Domestication took generations to achieve due to understanding the environment they inhabit. Domesticators gained many advantages that they didn’t have when they were hunters and gatherers. Between 7000 B.C.E and 500 B.C.E‚ the domestication of animals and plants in Central and East Asia gave early

Animal experiments Animal experiments are used widely around the world they are mostly used to develop new types of medicines. They are mainly used for testing the medicines for safety reasons. There are a lot of people who agree with this and many who disagree with these experiments. One person who agrees with animal testing is Lynne U Sneddon who believes” millions of animals are killed for food each year if anything research is a more worthy death” If animals die to feed humans then

Increasing number of animals and plants are dying out‚ but little has been done to prevent. This problem has given rise to great public concern now. In this essay‚ I’ll analyse some possible causes of this phenomenon and then propose some solutions. Firstly‚ some people think it is waste of resource to prevent animals and plants. They suggest that the money should be better spent on human population. They want take more space and totally ignore the animals’ and the plants’. Secondly‚ human being

Social and Economic Implications of diseases in Plants and Animals Plants (Social) There are many social implications of disease in plants. Some of which are: Loss of Productivity and reduced consumption: The diseases that affect the plants make them unable to function properly‚ which affects their growth processes. They are dangerous to use and this will negatively affect the consumers of these plants. If these disease-infected plants are consumed‚ they will harm the organisms. It may even

Does the genes from both parent combine into 1 or are the inherited by a whole where 1 is express while the other stays dormant. Using Mendel’s Laws as a base for our experiment‚ we will determine the expected outcome of these traits to help determine how

PLANTS Plants in Our Daily Life A plant(also called green plants) is a multi-cellular living organism‚member of kingdom Plantae.It is at the base of the food web and are Autotrophs.Plants are considered as backbone of all life on Earth and essential resource for living oragnisms.Plants can be reffered as a factory which processes light into energy and manufactures food for it ownself as well as for other living things.Scientists have foundmore than 270‚000 spieces of plants They include a host of
