Answer:

Store Energy – When we take in more energy than we need, the body stores it as adipose tissue (fatty tissue, which we call fat).  

Regulate and Signal – Lipids regulate the temperature of your body, keeping it steady, not too hot, and not too cold.  

Insulate and Protect – Our bodies are padded with fat, protecting us from everyday friction.

Aid Digestion and Increase Bioavailability – When food breaks down in the gut, fat is released and combines with fat-soluble nutrients

TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2021 What are the 8 taxons (levels) in order? What are the 6 kingdoms Taxons Kingdoms
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

-8 taxonomic levels: <em>Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species</em>

- 6 kingdoms: <em>Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protist, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.</em>

Explanation:

Taxonomy is the study of different organisms, their classification into categories according to their morphological and molecular characteristics and their evolutionary relationships, and assigning to each them a binomial name.  

The categories where organisms are classified into are:

  • Domains are the highest taxonomic category in which living beings can be grouped or divided. There are three domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

- The <em>archaea domain</em> is composed of prokaryotic unicellular microorganisms that lack a nucleus, nuclear membrane, and organelles, but they have a cell wall that protects the cell. These organisms are capable of inhabiting in places with extreme temperature, salinity, acidity, or pH, among others. They reproduce asexually.    

- The <em>bacteria domain</em> is composed of a wide group of unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms with a simple structure and sized between 1 to 10 micrometers. These organisms lack a nucleus, nuclear membrane, and organelles. They only present plasmids and ribosomes. They have a cell membrane and a cell wall that protects the cell. Some of them can also present a capsule. They reproduce asexually.  

- The <em>eukarya domain</em> is composed of all the unicellular or pluricellular organisms that have eukaryotic cells that characterize by having a well-defined nucleus surrounded by a complex biological membrane. They also present organelles delimitated by membranes. These organisms reproduce asexually and sexually.  

  • Kingdom: Includes different phyla closely relates. The bacteria domain includes the Eubacteria kingdom. The archaea domain includes the archaebacteria kingdom. Finally, the eukarya domain is divided into four kingdoms: Protist, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.    
  • Phylum: Includes different classes closely related.
  • Class: Includes different orders closely relates.
  • Order: Includes different families closely related
  • Family: Includes different genera closely relates
  • Genus: Includes many species.
  • Species
