Hydrological/ Water Cycle Steps With Diagram - BioNotes

                                           Water Cycle 



Water is  really a very  powerful factor of all ecosystem . All organisms need water for their survival and growth . Water has three phases - solid , liquid and gas . The liquid phase is important for living a life on planet and gaseous phase is important for the respiration process . Water cycle is also known by its another name" Hydrological Cycle ".

Water Cycle -   Water cycle is generally the journey of water from one place to another and from one state to another state . Their is  no end and it is a   continuous process that is why it is called "Cycle" .  Let us understand the water cycle

The sun heats the surface of earth as a result the water starts evaporating in the form of water vapor . The water vapor condense and change into liquid and  form clouds  this process is called as condensation . The water now fall from the clouds in the form of precipitation ( rain, snow  ) and collected into the water reservoir like see , ponds . lakes ,  river . Some of the water is absorbed into the earth surface as a ground water and use by plants and animal for drinking  purpose or it may be  run off from the soil and collected into the ocean  , river and lakes from where again cycle starts.


Importance of Water -


  • Water is very important for survival of living organism . without water there is no existence of life on earth .
  • Used in keeping community clean .
  • Water is very essential for crop production .
  • Water is important for the working of macro molecule as a good ionizer .

Sycon Canal System With Diagram

                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Gran...

Whittaker's Five Kingdom Classification | Biology Blog

                                   Five Kingdom Classification Early biologists classified all species as either plants or animals. Since this method makes it difficult to research specific creatures, American taxonomist R.H. Whittaker created the five-kingdom classification in 1969. This system divides all organisms into groups based on how they are organized and how they are fed. Important standards for this classification include - The complexity of cell structure i.e. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The complexity of the Organisms body is Unicellular and Multicellular. Mode of nutrition Autotrophs and Heterotrophs. Lifestyle. Phylogenetic Relationship. Based on these criteria, Whittaker classified the living world into the following categories  - Kingdom Monera                 Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Animalia Ki...

Aurelia Aurita Life Cycle: Characterstics, Classification

                                             Aurelia  Aurelia aurita is a type of zooplankton found all over the world. They are see-through and don't have eyes, brains, or hearts. They're usually between 2 to 15 inches wide. Even though they prefer being alone, they get carried together in groups called Blooms by wind and water currents. At night, they look like they're moving through the water like jellyfish, which is why they're sometimes called " jellyfish ".  They have four reproductive organs surrounded by tentacles in their top part. Their body color changes based on what they eat, so they can be blue, pink, or other colors. Let's learn more about Aurelia in detail. Details Of Aurelia Diagram -  Body : The center of the diagram would display the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, often called the " umbrella. " Tentacles : Below the bell, you'd see lon...
