How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

How can I classify living Organism

Biology - Diversity in Living Organisms

Introduction

  • Biodiversity term is used to define the diversity of life forms.

  • Biodiversity is a word more often used to refer to the variety of life forms found in a particular geographic region.

  • Diversity of life forms of a geographic region provides stability in the respective region.

Base of Classification

  • Greek thinker Aristotle first classified animals based on their place of residence whether they lived on land, in water, or in the air.

  • Later, all the living organisms are identified and categorized on the basis of their body design in form and function.

  • The idea of evolution was first described by Charles Darwin in 1859 in his book namely – The Origin of Species.’

  • Charles Darwin first described this idea of evolution in 1859 in his book, ‘The Origin of Species.’

Hierarchy of Classification Groups

  • Some biologists, namely Ernst Haeckel (1894), Robert Whittaker (1959), and Carl Woese (1977) have attempted to classify all living organisms into broad categories and named them ‘Kingdoms.’

  • Whittaker categorized into five kingdoms namely −

    • Monera

    • Protista

    • Fungi

    • Plantae

    • Animalia

  • Further, these kingdoms have been classification by naming the sub-groups at various levels as −

Kingdom

  • Let’s discuss each kingdom in brief −

Monera

  • The organisms of Monera kingdom do not have a defined nucleus or organelles, neither do any of them show multi-cellular body designs.

Monera Kingdom

  • The examples of this monera kingdom are bacteria, anabaena, blue-green algae or cyanobacteria, and mycoplasma.

Protista

  • The organisms of Protista kingdom include many kinds of unicellular eukaryotic organisms.


The examples of Protista kingdom are algae, euglena, diatoms, and protozoans, etc.

Fungi

  • The organisms of fungi kingdom are heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms.

The organisms of this kingdom use decaying organic material as their food and therefore, they are also known as saprophytes.

Plantae

  • The organisms of this kingdom are multicellular eukaryotes with cell walls.

  • The organisms of plantae are autotrophs and they use chlorophyll for making their food (i.e. photosynthesis).

  • All plants are examples of plantae kingdom.

Animalia

  • The organisms of Animalia kingdom are all organisms which are multicellular eukaryotes without cell walls.

  • Organisms of Animalia kingdom are heterotrophs.
