Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Kingdom Protista brought together Chlamydomonas, Chlorella (earlier placed in algae within plants and both having cell walls) with Amoeba and Paramoecium (earlier placed in the animal kingdom and both lacking cell walls). Five kingdom classification has put together organism (like Chlamydomonas and Amoeba) which were placed in different kingdoms in earlier classifications. This change happened because the criteria for classification changed. This kind of changes will take place in future too depending on the improvement in our understanding of characteristics and evolutionary relationships. So, biological classification is a dynamic and ever evolving phenomenon which keeps changing with our understanding of life forms.
