Things to know about pandemic disease coronavirus : Biology Blog

                                        Coronavirus




Coronavirus is an infectious disease that is spreading rapidly all over the world. More than 20 lakh people of the world have been affected by this virus and incoming time its chances of increase will be more. It is coming from the Wuhan, the capital of China on 29 December 2019 and since then it is spreading more fastly.

Symptoms - Fever, cold, cough, fatigue, diarrhea are general symptoms of this virus.  Older people and the child under 10 years of age are prone to this pandemic disease. The symptoms of this disease will appear between two to fourteen days. The people having a pre-existing disease like cancer, respiratory problems and diabetes have more risk to get the infection.

Mode of transmission - This virus is inactive until they do not get any host body to replicate their genome. After entering into the host body they first attach to the respiratory system and block the system, a consequence of that person feel some cough problem. The virus lives here for some days and multiplies their copy and after that slowly affects the whole body and then the person feels muscular pain and then fever is resulted out.
Its mode of transmission is just similar to the normal flu. If any normal person comes in contact with the affected one then this virus jumps into that person and in results, the person develops symptoms. 
Similarly, if the person touches the contaminated surface and then touches their mouth, nose, and ear then this virus gets its way to enter into mouth. This virus is active on the surface up to 72 hrs.

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...

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.
