The Living World
What does it mean to be alive, and how do we name living things. This chapter in NCERT Class 11 Biology, Chapter 1, introduces growth, reproduction, metabolism, cellular organisation, consciousness and other traits of life, and explains biodiversity, taxonomy, systematics, species, genus and higher ranks. It shows how scientific names, herbaria, museums, botanical gardens and keys help identify organisms. You will learn why universal names matter and how biologists order millions of species into a workable system.
