Cells fall into broad categories depending on whether they?

Cells fall into broad categories depending on whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. These two categories encompass the majority of cells on Earth.


What is the difference between organisms called?

Taxonomy is the branch of biology that classifies organisms into categories based on shared characteristics. Organisms are grouped into increasingly specific categories, from broad (kingdom) to specific (species). Nomenclature refers to the naming of organisms using binomial nomenclature, where each species is given a unique two-part scientific name.


Where was evolution discovered?

Evolution was not discovered. It started as an explanation by Charles Darwin, in 1838, to explain the differences between animals on the mainland with animals he encountered on islands that were VERY similar with their mainland cousins but had modified traits and characteristics to allow them to survive in environments that their mainland cousins could not.Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However, many favoured competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.
