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.

Landforms Made by Wind Activities

Wind and Its Functions About one-third of the Earth's land area is arid, semi-arid and desert. Lack of humidity and vegetation is often seen in these regions. Due to lack of humidity and vegetation, the soil particles here remain loose. Wind is an important contributor to denudation in these areas. Winds do three types of work in these areas, due to which different types of wind formed topographies are formed. How Blood Donation is Good For Health ? Works of Wind Winds perform three types of functions in arid and semi-arid areas, which are as follows – Deflation Abrasion or Corrasion  Attrition  1. Deflation In this, the unorganized particles of the soil are blown away by the wind, as a result of which the trough is formed. Lag Deposits and Marukuttim (Desert Pavement) When the wind carries away the small particles of the soil by the process of ablation, then the bigger particles are left behind. These large particles are called Lag Deposits and the surfaces formed as a result of w

Important Facts Related to Tricolor The national flag of our country is the tricolor. We learned about the rules and regulations related to the national flag under many articles.

The first flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya , in which a spinning wheel was made in place of the wheel. After the independence of the country in 1947, it was amended by the Constituent Assembly and Ashok Chakra was adopted in place of Charkha. Volcanoes and It's Types We all know and we are also taught in schools and colleges that there are three colors in the tricolor. But these are not true.
