The Binomial Concept of Classification

Binomial Concept of Classification

The Binomial Concept of Classification was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus in 1758. According to the divine concept, all the living beings were divided into two worlds.

  1. Plant kingdom ( Plantae )
  2. Animal kingdom (Animalia)
The Binomial Concept of Classification

1. Plant kingdom ( Plantae )

According to the Binomial Concept of Classification, living beings with the following qualities have been placed in the plant world –

  • Green plants, flesh, ferns, fungi, bacteria and multicellular marine plants and weeds found in immovable or stationary state are kept.
  • They are autotrophic.
  • Their cell wall is made of cellulose.
  • Bacteria and fungi are placed in the plant kingdom because of the hard cell wall present in them.
  • Apart from this, the unicellular eukaryotic cells in which chloroplasts are found have also been placed in the plant kingdom.

2. Animal kingdom (Animalia)

According to the Binomial Concept of Classification , living beings with the following qualities have been placed in the animal world –

  • In this, unicellular protozoa and multicellular animals have been kept.
  • Their cells lack cell wall.
  • Their physical structure is complex.
  • They have the ability to relocate.
  • They are Heterotrophic.
  • Unicellular eukaryotic cells, which show the action of movement and ingestion. They have also been kept in animals.

Connective Link

The organism between any two kingdom or associations, in which the qualities of both associations are found, that organism is called the connecting link between those two associations, that is, the link connecting the two associations.

For example, Euglena is said to be a connecting link between the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom because it is capable of moving like animals with the help of flagella and due to the presence of chloroplast, it is also capable of producing food by the process of photosynthesis. are

Defects of The Binomial Concept of Classification

The following are the drawbacks of the two Binomial Concept of Classification –

  • Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have been grouped together which is completely inappropriate.
  • Photosynthetic green plants and non-photosynthetic fungi are placed in the same group, which is wrong.
  • Euglena and slime fungi have been placed in both the kingdoms, which are not well.
  • Sponges, corals etc. are stationary animals, so they can be kept in the plant world due to the property of being fixed or immovable.
  • Viruses and bacteriophages are neither prokaryotic cells nor eukaryotic cells. Because of this they could not be classified properly.

Fault – Endogenous Force

Fault – Endogenous Force The relief of our earth is full of variations and contrasts. Due to fault-endogenous force on the upper surface of the earth, some fault valley, ramp valley have been formed. Somewhere there are deep trenches, and somewhere there is sea. In some places there are snow-filled glaciers and mountain ranges, where there is no trace of vegetation, then there are also marshy places, which are full of oddities and mysteries. Have we ever thought, what is the reason for all these differences? The answer is –  Internal Structure Of The Earth  Mainly two types of forces work on the earth, which are as follows – Endogenous forces – By these, disparities are created on the earth. Like – Earthquake, Tsunami, Long term force etc. Exogenous Forces – These are the plane stabilizing forces of the earth. Like – flowing water, sea water, glacier, wind etc. Genetic Terminology - Genetics 1. Endogenous Force As we said above, inequalities are created on the earth by endoge...

Different Branches and Sub-Branches of Science and Their Fields of Study

Science Science is a very wide field. There are various branches and sub-branches of science. It is mainly divided into two parts Natural Science and Social Science. Natural Science is again divided into two parts Physical Science and Biological Science, which are further divided into various branches and sub-branches. While various subjects of Arts Group have been kept under Social Science. Indian Classical Dance Form Different Branches of Science and Their Fields of Study  Animal Science or Zoology - Zoology: Detailed study of different types of living and dead animals Botany - Study of different types of plants and their activities. Paleontology -  Palaeobiology or Palaeontology: Study of different types of fossils (animals or plants). Paleobotany – Palaeobotany: Study of plant fossils. Palynology - Palynology: Study of different types of pollen grains. Genetics - Genetics: Study of genetic characteristics of organisms and their heredity. Ecology: Study of the environme...

Bt Toxin

Bt Crop Containing Bt Toxin Gene Bt refers to Bacillus thuringiensis i.e. Bt crop contains the amount of toxin obtained from the above bacterium or rather Bt toxin is formed in these crops which is active only when the crop is eaten by insects. In this way, after eating the crop, this toxin becomes active by going into the intestine of the insect and the insect dies. Pongal : A South Indian Festival Now the question arises that how did this poison reach inside the plants. Bt bacteria store many toxin proteins inside their spores and this toxin protein is made by the Bt toxin gene present inside the bacterium, that is, this toxin is produced by the Bt toxin gene. By biotechnology, this toxin gene is isolated from the bacterium and put in the gene of crop plants, due to which this toxin starts forming inside the crop plants as well. Exogenous Forces - Weathering and Erosion When Bt toxin is in the cell of bacteria or crop plants, then it is in dormant state and at this time it is called...
