Best Answer

Linnaeus' original hierarchy of organism classification included only two kingdoms. Later, this would be expanded to three by Ernst Haeckel, as some single-celled organisms couldn't be classified as animal or plant. Later still, Edouard Chatton's idea for dividing between single-celled organisms with and without a distinct nucleus was popularized, leading to four kingdoms. Finally, Robert Whittaker addressed the ambiguous classification of fungi between plantae and Protista by making them their own, fifth kingdom.

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.


What do you call animals that can't make their own food?

Single? College students? Lazy? Corpses? Okay, that was fun and all but now on to the serious side of the question. I think you have confused the question. The point is that animals don't make their own food. Carl Linnaeus created a system that made some sense of the apparent chaos of nature. He started with a very broad stroke and divided plants and animals. Plants make their own food. Animals don't. If this doesn't answer your question you may want to research "5 Kingdoms of Life".
