Complete solution:
- The scientific name of man is Homo sapiens
- Felis catus is the scientific name of a domestic cat.
- Ficus religiosa is the scientific name of peepal tree.

Additional Information:
Binomial nomenclature, or binary nomenclature, is a systematic method of naming species of living beings by giving a two-part name, with Latin grammar type, although they may be based on other language terms, all of which are composed of two parts. Such a term is called a binomial term (which can be simplified to "binomial"), a binomial name or a scientific name; more informally, it is sometimes called a Latin name. Carl Linnaeus has been credited with the formal introduction of this system, starting with his work, Species Plantarum.
Binomial nomenclature applications are now governed under various internationally agreed rules codes, including ICZN for animals (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) and the International code of nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (ICNafp) as the most important codes of rules. While both of these codes are common to the general principles behind binomial nomenclature, there are differences, both in terms of terminology and in their specific rules.

Note: The two parts of scientific name are denoted as,
The first letter of the genus is written in capital words
The scientific name must be written in italics.
The advantages of knowing scientific names is that it is a common name used in different continents. This will help you to alleviate confusion and make it easier to communicate about any organisms.
