Answer:

Based on similar appearance - traditional

Based on evolutionary relationships- modern

Known as cladistics- modern

Known as Linnaean classification- traditional

Explanation:

Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist who was the first to classify organisms based on the structural similarities which organisms had. This method of classification came to be known as the Linnaean classification. Organisms which had more closer resemblances in structures and features had more groups or taxa in common.

The modern system of classification depends on the evolutionary history of organisms. It determines which organisms are more closely and have common ancestors in the past.

Generally, animals cannot digest (hydrolyze) the glycosidic linkages between the glucose molecules in cellulose. how then do cow

Andrei [34K]

Microorganisms in their digestive tracts hydrolyze the cellulose to individual glucose units.

Cellulose- The stable formation of plant cell walls is greatly aided by cellulose, a hard, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide. The fibrils (bundles of microfibrils) and microfibrils (bundles of polysaccharide) made up of cellulose chains make up the plant cell wall.

Glucose- The primary form of sugar in the blood, glucose serves as the body's cells' principal source of energy. Glucose may be produced by the body from other chemicals or it can be obtained from the meals we eat. The circulation carries glucose to the cells. Insulin is one of many hormones that regulate blood glucose levels.
