What is the criterion for classification of organisms as belonging to kingdom Monera or Protista?
The criterion for the classification of organisms under the kingdom monera and protista is:
The organisms which are unicellular and do not have a membrane bound nucleus and organelles are put under Monera.
While the unicellular organisms which have membrane bound definite nucleus and organelles are classified as Protista.
What is the primary characteristic on which the first division of organism is made?
The primary characteristic on which the first division of organisms is made is the organisation of nucleus. Whether organism has eukaryotic cell i.e., membrane-bound organelle, including nucleus or has prokaryotic cell i.e., has no clearly demarketed nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
On what basis are plants and animals put into different categories?
Plants and animals are put into different groups on the basis of whether the organisms produce their own food through process of photosynthesis (plants) or organisms get food from outside (animals).
In the hierarchy of classification, which grouping will have the smallest number of organisms with a maximum of characteristics in common and which will have the largest number of organisms?
In the hierarchy of classification -
Species will have the smallest number of organism with a maximum of characteristics in common.
Kingdom will have the largest number of organisms.
Will advanced organisms be the same as complex organisms? Why?
Advanced organisms may be same as complex organisms. Since there is a possibility that complexity increases with time and the organisms accumalate changes for better adaptation and survival, therefore we can say that advanced organssims are complex in nature.
