NEET GURU

 F amily : familyG ets : genus  S ick : species 📌 Lower rank → More similarities 📌upper rank→ Least similarities ✍️️ 3.️ BINOMIAL️ NOMENCLATURE ️ : 📌 Carolus Linnaeus 📌 Two words:  Genus (Capital)  Species (small) 📌 Italics (print) 📌 Underline (handwritten) 📌 Example : Mangifera indica 📌 Mnemonic: G-C / S-sGenus Capital, species small ✍️️ 4.️ TAXONOMIC️ AIDS️ :  📌 Herbarium → dried plant sheets  📌 Botanical Garden → living plants  📌 Museum → preserved specimens  📌 Zoo → living animals  📌 Key → identification (couplets)

✍️️ 7.️ FUNGI️ :  Eukaryotic  Heterotrophic (absorptive)  Cell wall = Chitin  Body = Hyphae → Mycelium 📌 Yeast = unicellular fungus 📌 Mnemonic: FUNGI → Feed Using No Green leaves ✍️️ 8.️ PLANTAE️ :  Autotrophic  Cell wall = Cellulose  Chlorophyll present 📌 Mnemonic: PLANTS = Photosynthesis + Cellulose ✍️️ 9.️ ANIMALIA️ :  Multicellular  Heterotrophic  No cell wall  Mostly motile 📌 Mnemonic: ANIMALS = Active & No Cell wall
