Who developed the system for classifying organisms?
The first classification system ever was developed by Aristotle. However, after Linnaeus several different systems were developed (the first one being Linnaeus' system). They include: Linnaeus (2 kingdoms) Haeckel (3 kingdoms) Chatton (2 empires) Copeland (4 kingdoms) Whittaker (5 kingdoms) Woese in 1977 (6 kingdoms) & Woese in 1990 (3 domains) Now the majority of biologists accept the domain system but a large minority use the 5 kingdom method. A small minority add a 6th kingdom(Archaea) but don't accept the domain system.
In the first scientific classification of organisms all living things were placed into one of two kingdoms. What were these first two kingdoms?
The original first two kingdoms were animals and plants.
What domain contains all eukaryotic kingdoms?
Eukarya is the domain of classification for eukaryotes.
What is another word for monerans?
The Kingdom Monera was for a time one of the five kingdoms into which scientists organized all life-forms. It consisted of bacteria that did not have a cell nucleus. they are also called Prokaryotes. This classification is no longer used.
Who discovered fungi wasn't a plant?
In 1969, an American biologist, Whittaker, recognised that fungi are different from other eukaryotes in many essential aspects, so he designated them to a new kingdom. Whittaker's clarification of the system attempted to place organisms in kingdoms that more nearly resembled their supposed evolutionary relationships. This five kingdom approach to classifying organisms was an important step in the attempt to form groups that contain an ancestor and all its descendants (monophyletic groups) and to create a system where similarities and relationships may be seen. It had long been accepted that evolution had occurred since the publication of The Origin of Species (Darwin, 1859); where present species had evolved from earlier species and where similar species had a recent common ancestor, different species a more distant one. Thus a natural classification should mirror descent.Whittaker noticed, for example, the methods of nutrient intake for the three main eukaryote kingdoms (Animals, plants and fungi) were completely different. Animals absorb nutrients internally, engulfing food by the action of ingestion. Plants too have a form of internal absorption, with the intake of energy from the sun by photosynthetic organelles (Chloroplasts). Fungi, however, are the only eukaryote who have to externally digest their food component prior to absorption. Characteristically, fungi dwell in a food source absorbing nutrients from the medium, and in many instances releasing digestive enzymes for external digestion.In the last 30 years, recent advancements in technology, including DNA sequencing techniques, have placed a severe strain on Whittaker's five-kingdom system. At present, the dispute of the number of kingdoms required to classify all living and fossil taxa still is not concluded. Kingdoms are really the trunk and major branches of an evolutionary tree. Splitting the tree into kingdoms is an arbitrary process and depends whereabouts along the trunk and branches you make your cut. The higher you cut, the more kingdoms you will get. In fact some of the classification schemes which have been brought forward contain more than 15 kingdoms! A five-kingdom system of life has a charming simplicity. Unfortunately, throughout evolution, many losses and births of complex characters entangle this system. Therefore, down to molecular sequencing in particular, a six-kingdom system now seems necessary to enable us to place organisms in a fairer and more defined phylogenetic classification.
How are organism classified?
by their kingdoms by a five knigdom classification system which classifies all organisms
What were living things classified as?
At one time, all living things were classified into two kingdoms of plants and animals. Aristotle developed this first classification system.
What was the five kingdom system of classification based on now that there are six?
Five Kingdoms and two Domains have been expanded in the newest taxonomic classification system for living things into six Kingdoms and three Domains. The original classification was based on morphology and the cells' structural components. All cells that are similar were grouped under a certain "kingdom", this made it easy for scientists to quickly identify certain groupings. Three criteria on which the five-kingdom classification was based were: -complexity of the organism's organization - cell micro structure - obtaining nutrition The newest modern classification system is based more on evolutionary relationships at the microscopic level. As described above, it was originally based upon morphology and other physical characteristics and was a two domain system. Modern scientists have altered the classification to use three domains based upon modern science's ability to better define the genetic structures of living things. A new rDNA comparison analysis led to the development of the three domain system of classification. It was first described in the Binomial Nomenclature System created by Linneaus, one of the world's premier taxonomists. Linnaeus based his classification system on specific traits such as the structural characteristics (skeleton, body segmenation) and behavioral patterns (abiotic and biotic factors).
5 kingdoms why no 6?
because the five kingdoms have been split up in to 5 very vague categories, and are able to explain all of the following five kingdoms,

The original first two kingdoms were animals and plants.

What are 4 characteristics that are common to organisms in the Animal Kingdom?
In the scientific classification system, the kingdom Animalia is one of five kingdoms. All organisms in this kingdom are: multicellular, mobile and heterotrophic.
Why did scientist choose those five specific kingdoms?
There are some scientists that say there are more than five kingdoms, and some say there are less. Five kingdoms is just what they teach in schools.
Which structure is common to all five kingdoms of living things?
Cells.
Why is there a classification system?
All answers are correct.
Why is Kingdom Protista referred to as the dumping ground of the classification system?
All organisms that cannot be classified to be included on the eukaryotic kingdoms will be categorized under kingdom protista. This was the reason kingdom protista was called a dumping ground.
What is the largest taxonomic category in linnaeus's system?
The largest taxonomic category in Linnaeus's system is the kingdom. This category includes all living organisms and is further divided into smaller categories like phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
