    A scavenger is an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass, such as meat or rotting plant material. Blue-green algae (BGA) inhibit lipid peroxidation and have free radical scavenging activity, which can be beneficial for the protection against oxidative stress.

    Taenia is a genus of tapeworm that includes some important parasites of livestock. Members of the genus are responsible for taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans. There are more than 100 species recorded. They are morphologically characterized by a ribbon-like body composed of a series of segments called proglottids.

    Heart rate refers to the speed of the heartbeat, specifically the number of heartbeats per unit of time. The heart rate is typically expressed as beats per minute (bpm). The normal human heart rate ranges from 60–100 bpm; however 70-80 bpm is treated as the normal in adults.

    Chitin is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulas of mollusks, and the beaks and internal shells of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses. Combined with calcium carbonate, as in the shells of Crustacean and mollusks, chitin produces a much stronger composite.

    Robert Harding Whittaker was a distinguished American plant ecologist who was the first to propose the five-kingdom taxonomic classification of the world’s biota into the Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera in 1969. He also proposed the Whittaker Biome Classification, which categorized biome-types upon two abiotic factors: temperature and precipitation.
