Biological Classification and Cell Structure

The video tutorial introduces the concept of classification, explaining its importance in organizing living and non-living things into groups based on shared characteristics. It covers the five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia, detailing their unique features. The tutorial also discusses the Linnaean system of classification, which organizes organisms into hierarchical categories and introduces the binomial naming system.
