This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. Second Semester students of Zoology for all Maharashtra State Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020. It provides comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and practical papers, namely, Life and Diversity

of Animals—Non-Chordates (Arthropoda to Hemichordata) and Cell Biology.

The theory part of paper 3 discusses the taxonomic classification of animals belonging to phylum Arthropoda to Hemichordata, highlighting their morphological and anatomical structures, functions, and distinguishing characteristics. It also discusses the ecological role and economic importance of invertebrates in the biodiversity.

Paper 4 introduce the students to the structure and functions of cell organelles like mitochondria, the Golgi apparatus and ribosomes. It also provides an in-depth discussion on cell division, covering the cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis. Relevant experiments corresponding to the theoretical topics and examples have been presented systematically to help students achieve sound conceptual understanding and learn experimental procedures.

  1. More than 250 well-labelled diagrams have been provided for easy understanding of the concepts
  2. Engaging unit-end exercises have been provided for practice
  3. Collection of experiments to stimulate interest and aid in learning and memorizing the practical aspect of the subject
