Taxonomy used to have two groups of vertebrates and invertebrates. But invertebrates are far more diverse when it comes to the phylogenetic tree. Vertebrates all share same characteristic which is a back bone made of vertebrae, but invertebrates don’t share a common anatomical structure that all have; they are radically different in structure so they can’t be grouped in a single group. You have Arthropoda, which all have jointed limbs and segmented bodies and molt their cuticles. There’s Cnidaria, which most have tentacles and nematocysts and are radially symmetrical. And Mollusca, which have a muscular foot and a part of their body called a mantle. All these groups are invertebrates, but there’s nothing they share in common WITHOUT referring to the fact that they don’t have vertebrae. So basically that’s just an example why they can’t be grouped into one category; they all have different characteristics and are placed in different areas of the animal kingdom’s phylogenetic tree. Hope this helps

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer;

D.Carbon-based macromolecules are found in all life forms.

Explanation;

-Most molecules that make up living things are based on carbon atoms. The structure of a carbon atom allows it to form up to four covalent bonds. It can bond to other carbons or to different atoms.

-All organisms are made of four types of carbon-based molecules; carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sugars and starches are both types of carbohydrates. These carbohydrates can be broken down to produce energy in cells. Some carbohydrates are part of cell structure in plants.

-Lipids are molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol. Lipids are nonpolar, so they do not dissolve in water. Like carbohydrates, most lipids are made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. Some lipids are broken down and used as energy in cells.

-Proteins are the most varied of the carbon-based molecules in organisms. There are many different types of proteins. They are involved in many different body functions including movement, eyesight, and digestion.
