Taxonomy

Bacteria primarily divide through a process called binary fission, where the cell replicates its DNA and divides into two daughter cells. Some bacteria can also undergo other forms of cell division, such as budding or fragmentation.

Animals are considered the most complex kingdom of organisms due to their intricate organ systems, diverse body plans, and complex behaviors that allow them to adapt to various environments. Animals have evolved specialized adaptations that enable them to perform a wide range of functions, leading to their complexity.

Taxonomy is not a rigid or immutable system; it evolves based on new scientific discoveries and advancements. Classification systems can change as more information becomes available, leading to updates in how organisms are grouped and categorized.

Vestigial structures. Over time, the reptiles snakes descended from gradually began to use their legs less and less and so the limbs disappeared. The hip and leg bones present are essentially useless to the snake and are "left over" from their evolution. That is what a vestigial structure is (e.g. appendix in humans is also vestigal; we don't use it).

Omega taxonomy is a concept that incorporates not just the classification of organisms based on their evolutionary relationships, but also their ecological roles and interactions within their ecosystems. It seeks to understand biodiversity as a dynamic and interconnected system, incorporating both traditional taxonomy and ecological principles. Omega taxonomy is a holistic approach to studying and categorizing life forms.

Taxonomy refers to the science of classification, specifically categorizing organisms into groups based on shared characteristics. Nosology is the branch of medicine dealing with the classification of diseases.

The Chordata phylum consists of animals with a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail. This diverse phylum includes vertebrates such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, making it one of the most evolutionarily successful groups of organisms.

Species is the most specific group in taxonomy with Kingdom being the broadest group.

Taxonomy does not involve creating new organisms, but rather categorizing and classifying existing organisms based on shared characteristics.

Yes.

By the way, if you're going to use answers.com to cheat on a test at least paraphrase the question or something, copy-pasting the question and just taking out the blank between "developed" and "?" is simply lazy. Seriously, would it kill you to add "what" before the question mark?

Both solo taxonomy and Bloom's taxonomy are useful frameworks for designing and assessing learning outcomes, but they serve slightly different purposes. Solo taxonomy focuses on the levels of understanding and complexity of knowledge within a subject, while Bloom's taxonomy categorizes different types of learning objectives (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation). The choice between the two will depend on the specific goals and context of the teaching or assessment.

The father of taxonomy is Carl Linnaeus. He classified living organisms based on their physical and structural similarities, organizing them into a hierarchical system of categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This system is known as binomial nomenclature.

Morphological arrangement refers to the way words are structured and organized in a language, particularly in regards to how prefixes, roots, and suffixes are combined to create complex words. It involves understanding how morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in language, are interconnected to form different word forms and variations. Study of morphological arrangement helps in analyzing word formation processes and understanding the relationship between form and meaning in language.

A kingdom containing organisms that eat other organisms is the Kingdom Animalia. Animals are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their energy by consuming other living organisms. They can be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or detritivores, depending on their feeding habits.

You would most likely find fungus-like protists in damp environments such as soil, decaying matter, and on the surfaces of plants. These protists thrive in moist conditions where they can obtain nutrients and reproduce.

Rain tree (Samanea saman) is easily recognized by its char-

acteristic umbrella-shaped canopy. When grown in the

open, the tree usually reaches 15-25 m (50-80 ft) in height

with a canopy diameter wider than the tree is tall. Rain tree

is most important in the Pacific as a shade tree on small

farms, along roads, in parks and pastures. The wood has

limited use for carved bowls in local markets; it could be

developed more widely as a commercial timber, comparing

favorably to black walnut. A multitude of minor uses is

documented for rain tree, most of them of purely local sig-

nificance, but all could be explored for wider applicability.

Rain tree naturalizes freely almost everywhere it has been

introduced and is considered an invasive pest in Vanuatu

and Fiji. In many other places naturalized rain tree is not

considered a problem.

Native range

Extensive cultivation has obscured the native range of rain

tree. It is believed to be native in northern South America

(Colombia, the Caribbean slope and the Orinoco drainage

of Venezuela), and in Central America as far north as El

Salvador. It is now widespread from Mexico south to Peru,

Bolivia, and Brazil. In these areas, it occurs in low-eleva-

tion dry forests and grassland/savannah habitats.

Size

Rain tree generally attains maximum heights of 15-25 m

(50-80 ft). In rare cases it can reach a height of 50 m (160

ft). The crown typically reaches 30 m (100 ft) in diameter.

Very large trees may reach 50-60 m (160-195 ft) in diam-

eter. Rain trees usually have a short, stout trunk of about

1-2 m (3-6.5 ft) in diameter at breast height (dbh), but the

trunk can attain 2-3 m (6.5-10 ft) dbh in exceptional cases.

Under dense planting conditions, trees may attain greater

height (to 40 m, 130 ft) with a narrower crown diameter

than when planted in the open.

Form

Rain tree has a distinctive, umbrella-shaped crown. The

crown is typically broad and domed; the horizontal spread

is greater than the height when grown in spacious, open

settings. Under plantation conditions, the crown is more

vase-shaped. Flowers

The tiny flowers (12-25 per head) are massed in pinkish

heads 5-6 cm (2-2.4 in) across and about 4 cm (1.6 in) in

rAIn Tree?

The name rain tree has been attributed to:

• The leaflets are light-sensitive and close together on

cloudy days (as well as from dusk to dawn), allowing

rain to fall through the canopy to the ground below.

• The grass is often much greener under a rain tree

than the surrounding grass.

• A steady drizzle of honeydew is often created by

sap-sucking insects.

• Nectaries on the leaf petioles excrete sugary juice

that sometimes falls from the tree like rain.

• During heavy flowering, stamens can drop from the

canopy like rain.

height. The long, bicolored stamens (white in lower half

and reddish above) give the whole inflorescence the ap-

pearance of a powder puff or feather duster held slightly

above the foliage. Thousands of heads are borne at the same

time, covering the tree in pinkish bloom. The central flower

in each head is larger, stalkless, has more petals, and is in-

capable of forming a fruit; this flower is a nectar-produc-

ing organ that attracts pollinators. Usually only one flower

per head (rarely two) is pollinated and forms a fruit.

Leaves

Leaves are alternately arranged along twigs and have a

prominent swelling (pulvinus) at the petiole base; stipules

are present and threadlike; the leaf blades are twice-even-

pinnately compound, arranged in 2-6 pairs of pinnae, each

pinna bearing 6-16 diamond-shaped leaflets, shiny green

above, dull and finely hairy beneath, 2-4 cm (0.8-1.6 in)

long and 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 in) wide, the apical leaflets larg-

est. During dry periods trees are semi-deciduous, losing

their leaves for a short period. Where there is a definite dry

season, they may remain leafless for a period of weeks but

refoliate quickly if there is adequate moisture. This gives

the appearance that rain tree is "evergreen" in moister cli-

mates.

Fruit

Mature pods are black-brown, oblong, lumpy, 10-20 cm

long (4-8 in), 15-19 mm (0.6-0.8 in) wide, ca. 6 mm (0.25

in) thick, straight or slightly curved, not dehiscing but

eventually cracking irregularly, and filled with a sticky,

brownish pulp that is sweet and edible.

Archaeabacteria is a kingdom in the domain Archaea, and Eubacteria is a kingdom in the domain Bacteria. Both kingdoms contain bacteria that are prokaryotic, unicellular, and autotrophs or heterotrophs. However, Arechaeabacteria have cell walls without peptidoglycan which is the opposite from Eubacteria. Eubacteria often are the types of bacteria that make up dangerous diseases. Also, Archaeabacteria can live in extreme environments that many other organisms could not stand.
