Biodiversity , often known as biological diversity, refers to the diversity of living things on the planet. It explains the degree to which life varies. Microorganisms, plants, animals, and ecosystems such as coral reefs, forests, rainforests, and deserts are all  examples of biological diversity . Importance of Biodiversity Biodiversity benefits the Earth in a multitude of ways. The following are some examples: Ecological stability is provided through biodiversity. Within an ecosystem, each species serves a certain purpose. Organisms capture and store energy from the sun (the Earth's sole source of energy), produce organic material and destroy organic stuff. Biodiversity aids the water and nutrient cycle throughout the ecosystem, reduces soil erosion, and aids in the fixation of atmospheric gases so that they can be used by various organisms. Biodiversity regulates the climate. A healthy ecosystem supports the production of products and services that humans require to survive. The

Differences between Gonds and Ahoms - NCERT Class 7 History The following are the differences between Ahoms and Gonds : 1. Ahoms were migrants from Myanmar and China's Yunnan Province who came to the Brahmaputra Valley. They were descendants of the Tai-Mongoloid people. On the other hand, the Gonds were not immigrants to the area. They lived in Gondwana, a massive continent covered in forests. 2. The Ahoms established their power by warring against various tribes' kingdoms. The Rajputs influenced the Gonds, and the Rajputs influenced the Gonds. They formed marriage connections with Rajputs in order to obtain authority and recognition. The Ahoms spoke an Assamese dialect. 3. The Gonds, on the other hand, spoke Gondi, which is a Telugu-like language. They spoke in a Dravidian dialect as well. 4. Following their conversion to Hinduism, the Ahoms began to worship Hindu gods rather than their tribal gods. On the other side, the Gonds practised both clan worship and Lord Shiva devoti

What is the Right to Education (RTE)? Following the 86th Amendment to the Constitution in 2002, the right to education was incorporated in Article 21A of the new Constitution. For a long time, it has been necessary to assert that obligatory and compulsory education is a fundamental entitlement for all children aged 6 to 14. This is a critical step toward illiteracy in the country. This addition was worthless because it could not be implemented until the Right to Education Act was passed by Parliament in 2009. The goal of this regulation is to ensure that every child in India between the ages of 6 and 14 years old attends school. He has the right to a good education. Every child has a fundamental right to education between the ages of 6 and 14. This statute establishes basic requirements in primary schools. It asks that 25% of all seats in all schools be designated for students from low-income families. The government then compensates you. It forbids all non-accredited schools from oper

Birsa Munda History Birsa Munda (also called as Birsa Bhagwan by his devotees) was born on November 15, 1875, in Bamba, a Ranchi suburb (Jharkhand) . He followed in his brother's footsteps by claiming Christianity. He was thereafter initiated into Vaishnavism in Bandgaon. He abstained from meat, revered the tulsi plant, and wore the holy thread and a turmeric-dyed dhoti, like a conventional Vaishnavite would. He finally returned to his forefathers' religion, forming the 'Birsait' cult, which emphasised prayers, faith in God, obedience to a code of conduct, abstention from alcohol and sacrifices, among other things. Birsa received his elementary education at a German Mission School in Burjee. Until he reached the upper primary stage, he was a member of the Sardar Movement. Until 1895, Birsa was a religious reformer and a fighter for the raiyats' forest and other rights, but he eventually wanted political independence for the region. As a result, he recruited voluntee

What was the immediate cause of the revolt of 1857? Immediate Reason for the 1857 Rebellion The immediate cause was the requirement to use the 'Enfield' weapon. Before being inserted into the pistol, the cartridge had to be chewed off. The cartridge was lubricated with either pig or cow fat, according to the Indian sepoys. It was offensive to Hindu and Muslim feelings. As a result, they were hesitant to use the "Enfield" weapon. The soldiers were furious at the British. As a result, this became a flashpoint. It is supposed to have sparked the 1857 Rebellion. What were the causes of the failure of the 1857 revolt? The Failure of the 1857 Rebellion The uprising failed to drive the British out of the country for various reasons. 1. Military Motives The British army had a better organisation. The troops were well-supplied. The insurgents were running out of supplies and ammo. 2. Ideological Motives All sections were devoid of participation (Princess and educated classes).

Historical Background and Discovery of Cell - Class 11 Biology Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Paracelsus, two ancient Greek philosophers, believed that the complex structure of animals and plants is made up of a few repeating elements. These were an organism's macroscopic structures, such as roots, leaves, and flowers for plants, and organs for animals. Conrad Gesner (1516-1565), a Swiss biologist, researched the structure of a kind of protists termed foraminifera after the introduction of magnifying lenses in 1558. The compound microscope, invented in 1590 by Francis Janssen and Zacharias Janssen, aided in the advancement of cell biology research. Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694), an Italian microanatomist, examined thin slices of animal tissues from organs such as the brain, kidney, spleen, and lungs, as well as plant tissues, and proposed that they were made up of structural units he called "utricles." Cell was coined by Robert Hooke (1635-1703), an English microscopist (c
