During the 19th century‚ the two kingdom system was defined more scientifically. What major scientific breakthrough prompted this? 2. What change did optical microscopes bring to the scientific understanding of living organisms? 3. Why did euglena present problems with classification when it was first known about? 4.

Classification of Living Things Classification of living things is called "Taxonomy." This is when scientists put organisms into groups when they have things in common. The first groups they use are the Kingdoms. There are five kingdoms: ➢ Animal Kingdom ➢ Plant Kingdom ➢ Fungi Kingdom ➢ Protist Kingdom ➢ Moneran Kingdom Each Kingdom is then split into smaller groups‚ called Phyla. Each Phylum is split into smaller groups called Classes‚ each Class is split into

suggested to discern ‘the inert/non-living’ from ‘the living’ of which a an organism has to posses in order for it to be considered as a living being. These include self organization or movement‚ growth‚ reproduction‚ inheritance‚ feeding‚ excretion‚ sensitivity and adaptation. Moreover‚ the question of what life is takes us back to evolution‚ that is‚ for an organism to be considered living‚ it has to be part of the fossil record. Even so‚ there are living organisms which do not show some of these

Why Do Living Things Need Energy? All living things need energy to survive. Nearly all the energy for life comes from the sun. Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food. There are two laws of Thermodynamics: • First Law- The law of conservation of energy‚ which states that energy can be converted from one form to another‚ but it CANNOT be created or destroyed. • Second Law- States that energy cannot be converted without the loss of usable energy IMPORTANT TERMS Energy- the ability

Bacteria‚ zebras‚ mosquitoes‚ anacondas‚ essentially all living things have one thing in common which makes them what they are. It is DNA. It is one of the greatest biological discoveries in the history of mankind. It is not only related to biology but is tied to the study of chemistry as well because of the convoluted molecular structure. DNA is short for the molecule deoxyribonucleic acid. RNA or ribonucleic acid is another nucleic acid derived from DNA and used as a template to make proteins‚

Living Wills‚ sometimes called Advanced Directives‚ are legal documents accepted in all 50 states. They clearly define a person’s wish to decline life-support or medical treatment in certain circumstances‚ usually when death is imminent. Generally‚ a living will takes effect when a person becomes terminally ill‚ permanently unconscious or conscious with irreversible brain damage. <br> <br>A living will also allows a person to state with particularity the forms of treatment are wanted and not wanted
