Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Kingdom is the broadest taxonomic category after domain as proposed by Linnaeus. The Linnaean hierarchy of taxon identifies species as the most specific taxon that include only those organisms that can interbreed to produce the fertile progeny.

Several species with some common features are placed in same genus while related genera are placed in same family. Likewise, related families are placed in same order and the related orders are placed in same phylum.

Hence, kingdom is the least specific or broadest taxon that includes all the related phyla while species is the most specific taxon that include only the organisms that can interbreed.

Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist, who was regarded as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY because of his contribution to developing a system of naming and classifying species that is still widely used today. He was the first to create a system for naming organisms.

Linnaeus classified organisms using an hierarchical grouping system called TAXA. He classified organisms into a large group called KINGDOM, which was the least specific. Kingdom was further divided into PHYLUM, phylum into CLASS, class into ORDER, order into FAMILY, family into GENUS, genus into SPECIES, which were the smallest and most specific taxon. Although these hierarchical system of classification was later modified by the addition and removal of grouped organisms, Linnaeus classification still remains the basis/foundation for classifying organisms.

In the term trace element, the adjective trace means that
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The elemental is required in very small amount. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Trace element is also known as micro-nutrient. It is also defined as any chemical element required by living organisms in a minute or small amounts which is usually part of the vital enzyme (cells produced by catalytic protein).

Exact needs of trace elements vary among species, like commonly required plant trace elements are cooper, zinc, manganese, boron, and molybdenum. Animals commonly required iodine, manganese, and cobalt.

Absence of necessary plant trace elements required by plants in the soil causes deficiency disease, lack of animal trace elements used by animals in the soil may not harm plants, but, animals feeding on those plants develop their deficiency disease.

So, the adjective trace means that the elemental is required in a very small amount.
