In this article, we are going to study another important component of blood plasma i.e. White blood corpuscles, their types, structures, and functions. They are colourless, nucleated, amoeboid (irregular shape) and phagocytic cells larger than RBC’s. Their size ranges from 12 μm to 20 μm. They have mitochondria, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, ribosomes, and centrioles. […]

Three Domains of Life
Science > Biology > General Biology > Diversity of Living Organisms > Three Domains of Life Prior to 1969 organisms were classified into two kingdoms: the Plant Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom and on the basis of a cell, organisms were classified into two categories Prokaryotae or Monera (which comprised bacteria) and Eukaryotae (which comprised animals, plants, fungi, […]
Science > Biology > General Biology > Diversity of Living Organisms > Need for Classification of Living Beings Scientists have identified and named 1.7 to 1.8 million species of living organisms. Of these, about 1.2 million are animal species while 0.5 million are plant species. The group of insects is the largest group with 1.025 […]
