You are a Lysosome!

Lysosomes:
<span>- Common in animal cells.
- Helps cell digest proteins.
- Cleanup crew of the cell.
- Contain powerful chemicals that digest nutrient molecules in the cell.
- When other organelles stop working, the lysosomes break down and recycle the old cell parts so they can be used again.
- The chemicals in the lysosomes only break down unhealthy cell parts. - ------ Membrane surrounds the lysosomes to stop them from destroying the rest of the cell

How do the nutrients in soil become building materials for a plant to grow?
Sever21 [200]

The nutrients from the soil is taken up by the roots to be distributed to the entire plant. The plant absorbs the nutrients into its cells and utilized by the leaves, stem, trunk. They are also used to grow flowers and to bare fruits.

Moreover, the nutrients are divided into two groups; first the macronutrients which is needed by the plants in large amount such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Second group is the micronutrients, needed in tiny amounts that include zinc, copper, manganese, boron, iron, sodium and cobalt. These two groups are essential for normal plant growth and development.

Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]
