Describe some characteristics used to group organisms into different kingdoms?

Biology

Olenka [21]3 years ago

Three of the major characteristics used to classify organisms are cell structure, mode of nutrition and cellularity. These characteristics help scientists determine how organisms are similar to each other as well as how they are different from each other.

Classifying an organism according to its cell structure means determining if it is a prokaryote or eukaryote and then determining if the organism has a cell wall or other organelles, according to Dave Krupp of the University of Hawaii .

Mode of nutrition refers to how an organism gets its food. Organisms can be classified as autotrophs or heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food, while heterotrophs must eat other organisms to survive. If an organism is an autotroph, it can also be classified as a photoautotroph or a chemoautotroph. Stephen T. Abedon of Ohio State explains that photoautotrophs produce their own food using energy from sunlight. Chemoautotrophs produce food using the energy from electron-donating compounds.

Cellularity refers to how many cells an organism has and how those cells are arranged. Some organisms are single-celled, while others are multicellular. Advanced organisms have cells organized into tissues.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

No short answer.

Explanation:

First and second generation pesticides differ vastly in terms of their contents and effects.

First generation pesticides were used in early 20th century up until the 1940's and they consisted chemicals such as mercury and lead which were not biodegradable and they started adding up in the soil until it was not fertile anymore. Second generation pesticides were divided into three groups as chlorinated hydrocarbon, organophosphates or carbamates and consisted of chemicals that were less harmful for the soil and did not accumulate over time. Some examples to second generation pesticides can be DDT or dimethoate.

Broad spectrum and narrow spectrum pesticides have the difference of effective range between them. Narrow spectrum pesticides are designed to target a specific organism such as a specific plant or an insect whereas broad spectrum pesticides are applicable to a wider range of organisms and still have the same effect for each.

Chitin Inhibitors can be given as an example of narrow-spectrum pesticides and the second generation pesticides in the answer can be given as an example of broad-spectrum pesticides.

I hope this answer helps.
