    The document discusses biodiversity and the hierarchical classification system used for living organisms. It states that all classification schemes are based on a hierarchy of taxonomic groups, with kingdom being the largest taxon. Kingdoms are divided into smaller units called phyla, which can then be subdivided into classes, orders, families, genera, and finally species, which is the smallest taxonomic unit. The document also mentions that microorganisms play important roles in biogeochemical cycles like the nitrogen cycle, where they can fix nitrogen in the atmosphere or convert nitrogen forms like ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.

    Hierarchy in the classification of Organisms


    All classification scheme are based on hierarchy of groups of animals. A taxon is the name given to group or category in a classification system. The largest taxon in the classification scheme is called a

    Living organisms can be classified into five kingdom

    kingdom. The kingdom is divided into smaller units called phyla. A phylum can be subdivided into classes, each class into orders, each order into families, each family into genera, and each genus into species. The smallest unit in the
    hierarchy is the species.
