You don't. Taxonomy is its own scientific field, so trying to make a simple way of identifying organisms in general is impossible.
If you want to make a key for a specific genis, or order or something along that line, you might have a bit more luck.
Animals are strictly classified by their features (though as of late, they have begun to classify them based on their actual genes, and not visible differences)
Want an easy way to figure out what animal you're looking at? Go out and buy a book based around that class. Usually those will have enough subjects individually to be able to identify the majority of known animals in that class.
What else can I help you with?
What is the Plant classification key?
A plant classification key is a tool used in biology to identify and categorize different plant species based on their characteristics. It typically consists of a series of questions or statements that help narrow down the possible options until a specific plant is identified. The key is based on distinguishing features such as leaf shape, flower color, and stem structure.
If you were given a slide containing living cells how would you identify the cells as either plant ior animal?
To identify cells as either plant or animal, I would look for key distinguishing features. Plant cells typically have a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells lack these structures. Additionally, I would check for the presence of specific organelles: animal cells have lysosomes, which are rare in plant cells. Observing these characteristics under a microscope would help in determining the type of cells present.
How can a person identify plant and animal cells?
An animal cell has a cell wall around the cell membrane and is a rectangular shape, where as an animal cell does not have a cell wall and is a circular shape. Also a plant cell has chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis.
Where is the cytoplasm in the animal cell or the plant cell?
The cytoplasm is found in both animal and plant cells. It is a jelly-like substance that fills the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It plays a key role in various cellular activities and functions.
Is there an Endoplasmic Reticulum in an animal or plant cell?
Yes, both animal and plant cells have an Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). The ER is a network of membranes found in the cytoplasm of cells and plays a key role in the synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids.
Is a key is used to identify a plant or animal?
Yes it is. True.
Could you use taxonomic key to classify different types of carnavors?
The taxonomic key is a device used to identify unidentified organisms, so theoretically, it could be used to identify unknown carnivores. A dichotomous key is used to identify different species, so it too could be used in carnivorous animal identification.

Is a dichotomous key used to identify unknown organism?
Yes, a dichotomous key is used to identify an unknown organism.

Color shape size and organization are all characteristics that help to identify organisms through a plant key?
Color, shape, size, and organization are key characteristics used to identify plants through a plant key. These features help to narrow down the potential species by focusing on specific visual attributes. By carefully noting these characteristics, one can more accurately determine the identity of a plant species.
Is a dichotomous key used to identify an unknown organism?
Yes, a dichotomous key is a tool used to help identify unknown organisms by presenting a series of paired characteristics for the user to choose from, ultimately leading to the identification of the organism.
What is used to identify species in which paired descriptions?
Taxonomy Key
What is a Branch Key?
A Branch Key is a useful way to sort animals and plants into their correct groups, it is used to identify unknown plant and animals. Branching keys are most useful when there are only few living things to be sorted or identified.
What is the tool used by scientist to classify organisms?
Dichotomous key
What is the use of a key on a map?
Symbols used to identify places/items. :)
