Of the many fish of the sea‚ none is more interesting and unique than the seahorse. Seahorses are classified in the phylum Chordata‚ subphylum Vertebrata‚ class Osteichthyes‚ order Gasterosteiformes‚ family Syngnathidae‚ and the genus Hippocampus. The genus name Hippocampus comes from two Greek words; hippos meaning horse and campus meaning monster. Their physical appearance explains why they received their name. They have a horse-like head and a curled tail. They have developed many unique adaptations

photosynthetic‚ plants found in the biosphere Most are autotrophs (synthesize own food with help of solar energy) Contains about billion types of plant species Based on biologists‚ plants are divided into four main groups: 1. Phylum Bryophyta 2. Phylum Pteridophytae 3. Phylum Angiosperms 4. Phylum Gymnosperms These four main groups were classified based on: The presence/absence of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem; transport of nutrients) The presence/absence of seeds Two types of plants 1.

20.1 KEY CONCEPT-Plant life began in the water and became adapted to land. Plants are multicellular eukaryotes‚ most of which produce their own food through photosynthesis and have adapted to life on land. Plants share many characteristics with green algae. Both are photosynthetic eukaryotes with the same types of chlorophyll. Both also use starch as a storage product and have cell walls that contain cellulose. One ancient species of green algae is the common ancestor of all plants. If it were

of every lion’s life no matter the age‚ gender‚ or size. Just like any other animal‚ the African lion has specific classifications because of the species. For example‚ the main classifications of an African lion results in Kingdom Animalia‚ Phylum Chordata‚ Class Mammalia‚ Order Carnivora‚ Family Felidae‚ Genus Panthera‚ and Species leo. In fact‚ sub classifications can be included throughout the main classifications. Subphylum Vertebrata‚ Subclass Theria‚ Suborder Feliformia‚ and Subfamily Pantherinae
