doms. What is the main reason for this increase in the number of kingdoms?
Scientists have discovered organisms that were previously unknown, so new kingdoms had to be created for them

As scientists learned more about genetics and biochemistry, some organisms were moved out of existing kingdoms and into new ones.
Since the time of Linnaeus, what is the main reason for this increase in the number of kingdoms?

Correct answer: C). As scientists learned more about genetics and biochemistry, some organisms were moved out of existing kingdoms and into new ones.

As the scientist learn and understand more about the genetics and biochemistry they are able to solve the evolutionary puzzles of the life and they know how to classify organism that appears similar to one species but they share common behaviors with the other species.

In 1969 R.H Whittaker give the five kingdoms of classification in his classification three kingdoms were added to previous two kingdoms of classification of plant and animals. These added three kingdoms were Monera, Protista, and Fungi.

Hence, the correct answer would be option C.

They can be found in lowland tropical forests or grasslands. Higher classification for the grasshopper would be Orthoptera. Grasshoppers are jumping insects that belong to the arthropod phylum.

Strong, long hind legs that help them jump. This adaptation helps them get away from harm and jump higher.

lesya [120]

Reversible process

Explanation:

Reversible process is the process in which the reactants and the products both are used. They both are produced also. We can consume either the product or the reactant. So, if we need a resource to be produced repeatedly, we should put it in a reversible process.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS : Does a particular molecule, like vitamin c, always have the same shape? EXPLAIN.
arsen [322]
They would not have the same shape because they would basically be the same as that particular vitamin. If a vitamin was the same shape as c then it would be vitamin c. Therefore, they would not be the same shape.
