How do scientists use source of energy to classify organisms into their kingdoms?
Scientists classify organisms into different kingdoms based on their source of energy through their mode of nutrition. Organisms that obtain energy from the sun through photosynthesis belong to the kingdom Plantae, while those that obtain energy from consuming other organisms belong to the kingdom Animalia. Organisms that obtain energy from breaking down organic matter or inorganic compounds belong to the kingdom Fungi or Kingdom Protista, depending on other characteristics.
Why is it hard to classify extinct organisms using only fossil evidence?
