How does the Classification system distinguish between organisms?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

By organising them into five major kingdoms and further dividing each kingdom into phyla (or divisions), classes, orders, families, genus, and species.

Explanation:

There are five kingdoms:

  1. Monera: bacteria
  2. Protista: amoeba, paramecium, euglena
  3. Fungi: yeast, rhizopus
  4. Plantae: flowering and non-flowering plants
  5. Animalia: animals (vertebrates and invertebrates)

Organisms that share the most similar features are grouped into the same species. Species with similar features fall under the same genus. Several genus make up a family, several families make up an order, several orders make up a class, several classes make up a phylum (or division), and several phyla (or divisions) make up a kingdom.

Note: there are three domains (or superkingdoms): Archea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Differentiate between proximate and causations of a behavior
postnew [5]

Answer:

The ultimate level of causation refers to the behavior’s evolutionary significance; how the behavior enhances reproductive fitness. The proximate cause refers to the immediate cause of a behavior, whether that be hormonal, neurological, cognitive, interpersonal, or cultural. For example, the proximate cause of humans eating more cookies, cake, and ice cream involves the psychological tendency to desire and enjoy foods with high sugar and fat content. The ultimate cause involves the high caloric content of both sweet and high fat foods, which promotes physical survival in resource-scarce environments.
