WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY? All living things are called organisms.
Biodiversity is the short form of Biological Diversity.
Biodiversity refers to the wide variety of organisms on Earth.

CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISMS Classification of the organisms is the
sorting of organisms (animals or plants) into groups which have similar characteristics.
There are 5 major groups:AnimalsPlantsFungi (mould)BacteriaSimple organisms (unicellular organisms)

VERTEBRATES Animals with backbone or spinal column.
It’s long, strong and flexible.
It supports the body, anchors the limbs and protects the spinal cord.
Usually large in size.

INVERTEBRATES Animals without backbones.
Usually small in size. These animals have simple body systems.
Insects make up about 90% of all invertebrates.

INVERTEBRATES Invertebrates account for more
than 90% of the species in the animal kingdom.
Many of the invertebrates are small I size and they have simple body structures.
They cannot grow too big because they do not have a backbone to support their weight.
