In Linnaeus's time, all living things were grouped into two kingdoms. Later, there were five kingdoms, and know we have six king

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
Kingdom Plantea had to be split up into several kingdoms when scientists found that not all plants photo synthesize.
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?

A.Scientists have discovered organisms that were previously unknown, so new kingdoms had to be created for them
B. Kingdom Plantea had to be split up into several kingdoms when scientists found that not all plants photo synthesize.
C. As scientists learned more about genetics and biochemistry, some organisms were moved out of existing kingdoms and into new ones.
D. Since the time of Linnaeus, many new organisms have evolved, and most of them don't fit into the original 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.

What is cyclin dependent kinase?​
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

please mark as brainliest answer as it will also give you 3 points

Explanation:

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are the families of protein kinases first discovered for their role in regulating the cell cycle. They are also involved in regulating transcription, mRNA processing, and the differentiation of nerve cells.[1] They are present in all known eukaryotes, and their regulatory function in the cell cycle has been evolutionarily conserved. In fact, yeast cells can proliferate normally when their CDK gene has been replaced with the homologous human gene.[1][2] CDKs are relatively small proteins, with molecular weights ranging from 34 to 40 kDa, and contain little more than the kinase domain.[1] By definition, a CDK binds a regulatory protein called a cyclin. Without cyclin, CDK has little kinase activity; only the cyclin-CDK complex is an active kinase but its activity can be typically further modulated by phosphorylation and other binding proteins, like p27. CDKs phosphorylate their substrates on serines and threonines, so they are serine-threonine kinases.[1] The consensus sequence for the phosphorylation site in the amino acid sequence of a CDK substrate is [S/T*]PX[K/R], where S/T* is the phosphorylated serine or threonine, P is proline, X is any amino acid, K is lysine, and R is arginine.[1]

Which statement best defines a protist?
Helga [31]
Protists obtain food in 3 ways. They produce their own organic molecules, ingest, and absorb.  Ingestive protists ingest food, or engulf bacteria. These protists extend their cell wall and cell membrane forming a food vacuole around the food item. Inside the food vacuole, enzymes digest the food. Absorptive protists on the other hand, absorb food molecules  across their cell membrane which takes place through diffusion. Absorptive protists play a key role in decomposition. They are considered as important decomposers. Major producers  like photosynthetic protists  use light energy to manufacture  their own food.<span>

What is free nitrogen?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen thet cannot be used by organisms. C.

Explanation:

Free nitrogen is simply molecular nitrogen (N2). Nitrogen, in its molecular form, consists of two nitrogen atoms bound together with a tripple bond. Because it is very stable, N2 is typically nonreactive, and takes a lot of energy to break them apart. Among these are the amino acids necessary for life to begin and which are the building blocks DNA is made from. Basically, any nitrogen that is in an organic compound is considered “fixed” nitrogen and N2 is considered to be “free” nitrogen
