Question

compare both classifications of Linnaeus and Whittaker ​

Answer 1

Answer:

When Linnaeus first described his system, he named only two kingdoms – animals and plants. Today, scientists think there are at least five kingdoms – animals, plants, fungi, protists (very simple organisms) and monera (bacteria

Answer 2

Linnaeus later classified all living organisms into two kingdoms Plantae and Animalia.

Explanation:

• Whittaker proposed an elaborate five kingdom classification monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
• In the five kingdom classification bacteria are included in Kingdom monera.
• In his Systema Naturae first published in 1735 carolus Linnaeus distinguished two kingdoms of living things animalia for animals and Plantae (Vegetabilia) for plants.
• He classified all living organisms into two kingdoms on the basis of nutrition and locomotion (mobility).
• Linnaeus established two kingdoms of organisms in his classification system plantae (the plant kingdom) and Animalia (the animal kingdom).
• Since then scientists have repeatedly revised the linnaean system.
• The Linnaean system is based on similarities in obvious physical traits.
• It consists of a hierarchy of taxa from the kingdom to the species.
