Question

Why are living organisms classified Class 11?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A large variety of plants, animals, and microbes are found on earth. All these living organisms differ in size, shape, colour, habitat, and many other characteristics. As there are millions of living organisms on earth, studying each of them is impossible. Therefore, scientists have devised mechanisms to classify all living organisms. These methods of classification are based on rules and principles that allow identification, nomenclature, and finally classification of an organism.

For example, based on certain principles, once an organism is identified as an insect, it will be given a scientific name and then grouped with other similar organisms. Thus, various groups or taxon include organisms based on their similarity and differences.

Therefore, the biological classification helps in revealing the relationship between various organisms. It also helps in making study of organisms easy and organized

Answer 2

Living organisms are classified for ease of identification and research-related purposes.

• Earth comprises a total of 1.7 million species which makes the study of each organism a complicated process. Therefore scientists across the globe have devised their classification for a better understanding of these organisms.
• Classification of organisms comprises the identification of their characters, habitat, and behavior and after that, they are rightfully placed in different taxonomic categories.
• Taxonomic categories include Kingdom, Phylum/Division, order, family, genus, and species.
• Currently there are five known kingdoms which are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
