When the Linnaean system of classification was first developed in the early 1700s, it only had two kingdoms for living things, t

he plant and animal kingdoms. Three more kingdoms have been added since then, as well as a higher division of three domains. Why are we still using this system if we have to keep changing the way it is organized?

Answer:

Carolus Linnaeus developed the classical system of classification in the eighteenth century that classified the organisms into animals and plants as done by Aristotle. After Linnaeus, the system of classification got modified into three kingdom classification given by Haeckel in 1866, then it was modified to four kingdom classification systems by Copeland in 1956.  

After that, it got changed to the five-kingdom classification system by Whittaker and at present the six kingdom classification system is followed, which was given by Carl Woese in 1977. This six kingdom system is the modern classification system that aligns organisms into a larger group called domain.  

This variation in the system of categorizing the organism suggests that the knowledge diversifies and flourishes with the time that can modify the understanding of nature like comprehending the living world. The progression in the knowledge has assisted in shaping the system of classification.

Answer:

The Linnaean system of classification is also known as the classical system of biological classification proposed by the Carolus Linnaeus.  He categorised the organisms into two groups- the plants and animals on the basis of morphological characters.

But this system has evolved with time from two kingdoms to six kingdom system which is divided into Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi Animalia and Plantae with time due to the advancements in technology and understanding of nature into depth.

This shows that knowledge can be modified with time depending on the understanding of nature.

Which of the following statements best describes the carbon atoms present in grass-eating cows?
Temka [501]

Answer:

d. The carbon atoms came from carbon dioxide and were incorporated into sugars through photosynthesis in the grass.

Explanation:

Grass eating cows are heterotrophs and can not synthesize the organic sugars by themselves. They derive it from grasses they eat.  

Grasses are the autotrophs that can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. The extra glucose formed during photosynthesis is stored in the cells of grasses in the form of starch and becomes a source of carbon for herbivores such as cows.

Why do we feel pain in our hearts when we are sad
Orlov [11]

When people say words hurt is bc your feelings com from your brain and when you feel hurt or sad your brain makes the feeling physical. Like if you are depressed then your brain makes you sleep a lot so that you don't have to feel that pain during the day. Also, people can die from a broken hart bc it isn't your physical hart that is feeling everything it is actually your brain so it makes it self sabotage.

On rare occasions, mutations can be beneficial to an organism.<br> a. True<br> b. False
iogann1982 [59]
Yes, this is true, and it is actually one of the organisms driving evolution! Some organisms develop mutations that are actually beneficial (better eye-sight, for example) and they're more likely to pass those to their children that individuals without those mutations!
