Overview of Kingdom Animalia The Kingdom Animalia is a large group of multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic in their nature. They get their food from outside sources. While they cannot create their own food and this is among the most characteristic traits of plant cells, animal cells do not have a cell wall like … Read more

Phylum Aschelminthes Definition Aschelminthes are pseudocoelomate. They are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, non-segmented, vermiform, organ-system grade construction that includes full digestive tubes. Characteristics of Phylum Aschelminthes Classification of phylum Aschelminthes The phylum is a heterogeneous collection of animals, which is why it is classified differently by various Zoologists. The classification here is based on and on … Read more

Proteins, as complex biological molecules, play an essential role in the myriad of processes in living organisms. Consisting of amino acids, proteins can be envisioned as polypeptide structures formed through long chains of these amino acid residues. Therefore, it’s not surprising that they are one of the most abundant organic molecules present in living beings. … Read more
