Classification Of Animals : A Brief Study Invertebrates

Classification Of Animals : A Brief Study Invertebrates Classification  Of  Animals Introduction   More than 1,000,000 species  of the living animals are already identified and every year some new species are reported. All these animals show a big diversity among them and are classified into different groups  and subgroups. Major Groups Of Animals Two common traits in the classification of animals are whether they are made up of a single cell, or of many cells, or whether they have a backbone or have no backbone. Accordingly, the two major groups or subkingdoms of animals are 1. Protozoa (unicellular or single-celled animals) and 2. Metazoa ( animals composed of many cells with formation of tissues and organs) Next to sub-kingdoms are described the phyla, classes , and orders, etc. As required under the syllabus we describe the classification only up to classes. Phylum 1. Protozoa. 2. Porifera...

Building up the ' Mother Industries' ( Tata Steel )

Building up the ' Mother Industries' ( Tata Steel ) Source: Unplash HERE are certain corporations the world round, which stand out from their fellows. They need not be the largest or the most prosperous in their country or even in their given field but their achievements and traditions are epochal and in peoples' minds identify the trade or industry to which they belong with themselves.  They may be in trade or commerce opening up new frontiers and new territories, such as, for instance, the East Asiatic Corporation of Denmark, or they may be established in one place in a basic or key industry. The Tata Iron and Steel Company is such a corporation. It is part of the geography and landscape of India-as much a part of her as her great mountain ranges and rivers.  The little forest village of Sakchi as much as the rolling hills of Chhota Nagpur have all contributed to her greatness. The Tata Iron and Steel Company broke new ground not merely as a pioneer in steel manufacture i...

 AMPHIBIANS (AMPHIBIA) (Salamanders, toads, frogs, newts, caecilians, etc.) Largest Amphibian The largest species of amphibian is the Chinese giant salamander (Megalobatrachus davidianus), which lives in the cold mountain stream and marshy areas of northeastern central and southern China. The average adult measures 39 in in total length and weighs 24 to 28 lb. One huge individual collected in Kweichow (Guizhou) Province in southern China in the early 1920's measured 5 ft in total length and weighed nearly 100 Ib. The Japanese giant salamander (Megalobatrachus japonicus) is slightly smaller, but one captive specimen weighed 88 lb when alive and 100 lb after death, the body having absorbed water from the aquarium.
