This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. First Semester students of Zoology for all Maharashtra State Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020. It comprehensively covers the theoretical and practical papers, namely Life and Diversity of Animals-Nonchordates (Protozoa to Annelida) and Environmental Biology. The theory part of paper 1 aptly discusses the importance of systematics, taxonomy and structural organisation of non-chordates. The students will learn classify and analyse different animals belonging to phylum Protozoa to Annelida on the basis of levels or grades of organization, symmetry, coelom etc., upto class. Paper 2 - Environmental Biology discusses the significance and need of biodiversity conservation. The students will learn different physico-chemical parameters of water to analyse. Relevant experiments corresponding to the theoretical topics and examples have been presented systematically to help students achieve sound conceptual understanding and learn experimental procedures.

  • More than 200 well-labelled diagrams have been provided for easy understanding of the concepts
  • Engaging unit-end exercises have been provided for practice
  • Collection of experiments to stimulate interest and aid in learning and memorizing the practical aspect of the subject
