Taxonomy, which translates from Ancient Greek as "arrangement method," is a tool for categorizing living organisms into groups (ortaxa) based on shared genetic traits and common ancestry. Organisms grouped higher up in the hierarchy share very broad traits, while organisms grouped together farther down the hierarchy are more closely related (they share more genetic traits). Historically, we have classified living organisms into these taxa (in order of increasing specificity): domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, [Variety].

Protein​

Proteins play countless roles throughout the biological world, from catalyzing chemical reactions to building the structures of all living things. Despite this wide range of functions all proteins are made out of the same twenty amino acids, but combined in different ways. The way these twenty amino acids are arranged dictates the folding of the protein into its primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. Since protein function is based on the ability to recognize and bind to specific molecules, having the correct shape is critical for proteins to do their jobs correctly.

Lymphatic System​

Thelymphatic system is part of the vascular system and an important part of the immune system, comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph(from Latin,lymphameaning "water") directionally towards the heart.

Carrying Capacity​

Thecarrying capacityof a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment. In population biology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load, which is different from the concept of population equilibrium. Its effect on population dynamics may be approximated in a logistic model, although this simplification ignores the possibility of overshoot which real systems may exhibit.

Hematophagy (also haematophagy or hematophagia; Greek αἷμα haima "blood" + φαγεῖν phagein "to eat"): the practice by certain animals of feeding on blood. Since blood is a fluid tissue rich in nutritious proteins and lipids that can be taken without great effort, it is a preferred form of feeding for many small animals, such as worms and arthropods. Some intestinal nematodes, such as Ancylostomatids, feed on blood extracted from the capillaries of the gut, and about 75 percent of all species of leeches (e.g., Hirudo medicinalis) are hematophagous. The spider Evarcha culicivora feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by specializing on blood-filled female mosquitoes as its preferred prey. Some fish (lampreys and candirus), mammals (especially vampire bats), and birds (the vampire finch, Hood mockingbird, Tristan thrush, and oxpeckers) also practice hematophagy. Source
