because they are special
im pretty sure the scientist that found them gets to name it based on their best guess of what it is most closely related to (thats were the first name comes from) and whatever else they feel like calling it (the second part of the name)
common names cause confusion they dont have scientfic basis. as there are number of common names for a single specie. or one name can be reffered to different specie. scientific names are known and accepted through out the world. they give us scientific basis and eleminate the confusion
The language used to give scientific names to plants and animals is Latin, often combined with Greek. This system, known as binomial nomenclature, was developed by Carl Linnaeus and is used because Latin is a "dead" language, meaning it doesn't change over time, providing stability and consistency in naming. Additionally, Latin was widely used among scholars and scientists in Europe during the time of Linnaeus, making it a universal language for scientific communication.
Scientists call animals that cannot make their own body heat ectotherms, which means they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. Examples include reptiles, amphibians, and most fish.
Around Europe they're called kittens. In America they are called pups. However the scientific name for baby rats is pups. *Kits or pups are the common names used for infant rats.
because they are special
Organisms are given a scientific name to distinguish them from other animals of similar species.
Binomial nomenclature is actually the system used to give each species a scientific name consisting of two parts: the genus and the species name. The scientific study of how organisms are classified is called taxonomy.
what is the difference between the common and scientific name of an organisms
scientific names often come from Latin words, each part having a meaning. For example the scientific name for dog is Canis lupus familiaris meaning dog friendly wolf, describing what it is.
they make it up :)
just give me the answer
Because of the great diversity of organisms, there is really a need for naming them scientifically. Scientific names give a distinct identity to organisms and help avoid confusion with misleading common names.
scientists classify organisms into groups based on internal and external features.
i am the coolest.
The scientific name for WBCs is leukocytes.
Endotherms or homeotherms are animals that can produce their own body heat through internal processes such as metabolism. They are able to regulate their body temperature independently of the external environment.
