6 0

<span>The characteristics that scientists used to classify living organisms into six kingdoms include the following:
1. Cell type: living organisms are classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on the presence of nucleus and distinct arrangement of the organelles in their cells.

2. Mobility: living organisms are categorized into kingdoms based on their ability or inability to move about.

3. Cell structure: the cells structure was used to divide living organisms into plants and animals. Those living organisms that have cell wall are classified as plants while those who do not have cell wall are classified as animals.

4. Number of cells: living organisms that are made up of only one cell are classified as unicellular while those with many cells are termed multi cellular.

5. Reproduction method: living organisms are classified based on whether they reproduce sexually or asexually.

6. Manner of obtaining energy: living organisms that can prouduce their own food are called autotrophs while those that can not produce their own foood are termed heterotrophs. Plants are essentially categorised as autotrophs while animals are described as heterotrophs.</span>

The diagram shows a normal red blood cell and a shrunken red blood cell, both of which are in salt water.

bixtya [17]

Answer: Water moved from inside the red blood cell into the salt water.

This is because of the osmotic difference between the salt solution and the red blood cell. This means that there is difference in the solute (salt) concentration inside the red blood cell and the salt solution.

Explanation: The salt concentration in the solution is higher than the salt concentration inside the red blood cell, that is, the red blood cell has more water concentration that the salt solution, therefore there will be movement of water from the inside of the red blood cell into the salt solution thereby causing the red blood cell to reduce in size. The movement of water from the red blood cell into the salt solution is to create a balance between the water concentration in the two environments, hence the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low solvent concentration across the selectively permeable membrane of the red blood cell.

A variety of bacteria normally inhabit the vagina. How could a practitioner differentiate between these normally present bacteri

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

By the size and shape of the organisms.

Explanation:

C. albicans isn't a bacteria, it's actually a fungi. Therefore, there will exist significant differences between the bacteria normally found in the vagina, and the fungi that can be causing an infection. Fungus are, usually, bigger than bacteria. Also bacteria have special shapes, like bacillus and spirils, which fungus don't.
