coz it is one of the basis for classification...
Aristotle
Aristotle
scientist classify parts of an ecosystem by biotic things (living things) and abiotic things ( nonliving things).
Over 2000 years ago, a Greek scientist named Aristrotle(AIR uh staht ul) was one of the first people to classify living things.
To be able to study all the living things in our universe, we need a way to group or classify them together. Scientists divided all things into living and non-living. Then they divided those (e.g. animal kindom and plant kingdom, then continued dividing them on how the items were seimilar or dissimilar).
Their change in growth and structure
Scientists do not classify viruses as living things because they lack key characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce and carry out metabolic processes on their own. Viruses are considered biological entities that require a host cell to replicate.
We classify living things to keep track of the branching evolution of each living thing.
Scientists classify living things because then it's easier to share information, study, & discuss these living things.
no.they should be classified according to their structure & function
Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish scientist, is credited with developing the system of binomial nomenclature, which is a method for naming and classifying organisms according to their genus and species. Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy for establishing a systematic and orderly way to classify living things.
Scientists use characteristics such as body structure, cellular organization, mode of nutrition, and method of reproduction to classify living things. These characteristics help differentiate organisms and place them into different taxonomic groups based on their similarities and differences.
