can be found almost everywhere in the world in inland saltwater. Although brine shrimp are considered to be members of a single genus‚ Artemis‚ and possibly a single species‚ there are a number of varieties. Brine shrimp are classified in the phylum Arthropoda ‚ subphylum Crustacea‚ class Branchiopoda‚ order Anostraca. Generally‚ they have stalked compound eyes and tapered bodies with a trunk that bears 11 pairs of legs. Females have a brood pouch where the young are released under favourable conditions

Most animal phyla originated in a relatively brief span of geological time‚ however the diversity among them is extraordinary. Every organism is very unique a detailed in certain ways‚ comparisons of certain types of organisms can be very difficult. The class in which will be compared is that of the invertebrates. The main difference between coelomate and acoelomate body plans are that coelomates have a true coelom‚ which is a fluid-filled body cavity completely lined by tissue which is derived

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. Non-Flowering Mosses

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

Pill bugs are knows as woodlice‚sowbugs‚ and roly-polies.Despite the name Pill bugs aren’t actually “bugs” they are classified as terrestrial isopods and fall under the class Crustacea.This class also falls under an even larger group called Arthropoda. Arthropoda consists of many Arthropods that have bilateral symmetry‚segmented bodies‚exoskeletons‚jointed appendages‚and numerous pairs of limbs.Pill bugs also have a flattened or round-backed profile‚seven pairs of legs‚ and sharply-angled antennae
