Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it

Biology

SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]

Electrical conductivity tester.

If the bulb begins to glow brightly when the plug is submerged in the unknown solution then the solution has high conductivity. 

The bright glow of the bulb resulting from the experiment indicates that the current flows easily through the unknown liquid.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

(B) Energy released from the chemical reaction is used to directly phosphorylate ADP.

(D) Energy released from the chemical reaction is used to directly reduce NAD+

Explanation:

phosphorylation is a addition of phosphoryl group to an organic compound.Substrate level phosphorylation is a process where there is ATP is produced from ADP by transferring a high energy phosphate group from phosphorylated metabolic compound.This process occurs in glycolysis and citric acid cycle.and this pathway is exergonic pathway

How have scientist started to study relationships between different groups of organisms?
Delicious77 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The scientist started to study relationships among various groups of organisms <u>C. by using genetic analyses</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The following features were used to study about the relationships between different groups of organism:

  • External morphology
  • Similarities in structure
  • Genetic analysis
  • Chemical composition

The molecular similarities in the structure of RNA, DNA, and proteins help to establish the relationship of relationships between different groups of organisms. This was studied through testing the samples obtained by organisms using genetic analyses.

The tendency for energy to be lost as heat during the transformation of organic matter is support for what concept?
leonid [27]

Answer:

a. Entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorder of a system, being a measure of the unavailability of energy. Rudolf Clausius was the first to use the term Entropy in 1865. Entropy would be the measure of the amount of thermal energy that cannot be reversed into mechanical energy (cannot perform work) at a given temperature.

Because of this concept, we can understand that the tendency of energy to be lost as heat during the transformation of organic matter supports the concept of entropy.
