Ans. Bilirubin, a byproduct of the metabolism of hemoglobin, is also removed by the bile. Gallbladder stones from too much bilirubin can injure the health.

  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens, also known as Rhizobium radiobacter, is the bacterium that causes the plant disease crown gall. 
  • Numerous plant species are at risk. 
  • Among them are perennial garden plants, particularly grapes, members of the rose family (Rosaceae), shade and nut trees, several shrubs and vines, and grapes. 
  • Roundish rough-surfaced galls with a diameter of several centimeters or more that are typically seen at or close to the soil line, on a graft site or bud union, or on roots and lower stems are among the symptoms. 
  • The galls start off being cream- or greenish-colored before becoming brown or black. 
  • Plants get weaker as the illness worsens and may possibly perish.
  • Crown gall can be prevented by using nursery stock free of suspicious bumps near the crown, former soil line, or graft union; practicing five-year rotation or refraining from replanting for that time; removing severely infected plants (including as many roots as possible); providing protection against injury; controlling weeds; removing large galls on trees; and cutting away infected wounds.

Biological Classification

The process of grouping living organisms into categories is called biological classification. The most modern 5-kingdom classification was put ahead by an eminent scientist R.H.Whittaker. The five-kingdom classification is based on the criteria like cell structure, mode of nutrition, body form, and reproduction. One of the most important characteristics of this system is that it follows the evolutionary sequence of living organisms. The organisms are classified into distinct taxa or levels like Kingdom, Phylum, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The 5 kingdoms are as follows:
