Sida is a shrubby plant which belongs to Malvaceae, a family of flowering plants. It grows in the wild in different types of habitats like overgrazed lands, roadsides; along the sides of walls of old buildings etc.
Anthills show the quality of soil.
A substance, factor, change, living being or a system that quantifies and simplifies phenomena and helps in understanding complex realities, is called as indicator.
It tells us something about changes in a system. There are many types of indicators some of which are- Financial Indicators, Poverty Indicators, Health Indicators, Environmental Indicators, and Indicators of Sustainable Development.
The environment of our earth has a number of life zones that support birth and development of all types of organisms.
All the life zones of the earth are collectively called as Biosphere.
The biosphere vertically extends into the atmosphere up to about 10 km and downwards into the oceans up to a depth of about6.9 km.
The digested food is absorbed into the body from where it is distributed to all its cells.
Varieties of Biological Resources are in international demand today. To meet this international demand, illegal smuggling of these resources is done through illegal routes. Some species of plants and animals have been threatened, rare, endangered or critically endangered due to such practices. Several valuable species of plants and animals have become extinct due to these activities. The international trade in animal body parts is increasing rather rapidly due to their high prices in the international markets. Where possible, the trade of whole animals is also in full swing.
Growth and movements in plants occur due to internal and external factors. Plant hormones are internal factors while light, touch, gravity and other stimuli are external factors that affect plant growth and movements.

The comfortable life style has reduced mobility of men, women, and children. The lock down during COVID-19 period has restricted human movement up to greater extent. Under these conditions arthritis may become a reason behind problems of joints.
Animals could be mainly divided into wild and domestic.
However, the domestic animals that live under wild conditions are called Feral Animals. It is not very difficult to understand a domestic animal from a wild animal, by looking at them, as there are many differences exhibited between them.
A group of individuals of a particular species occupying a particular area at specific time is called as population. A species is a group of similar type of organisms that can interbreed under natural conditions. The interbreeding organisms of a species produce new organisms and finally result into the growth of population. This is true for all the life forms including human beings.
Some propagules or seeds incidentally travel long distances and reach to other county. There they germinate and produce new plants.
Energy is the basic force capable of running life. But, the sources of energy are running short.
