When linnaeus began classifying organisms in the 1700s, he categorized them as plant, animal, or mineral. these kingdoms were later revised to exclude minerals and expanded to include animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. which of the following best explains a reason for this change? as new organisms were discovered, new kingdoms were created to sort them based on ability to interbreed. it was discovered that the organisms in each of the five kingdoms have a different method of obtaining nutrients and are therefore fundamentally different. technological advances led to the discovery of single-celled organisms and increased our understanding of relationships between organisms. genetic research led to the discovery that each of these five kingdoms has a unique evolutionary ancestor.

The correct answer will be option it was discovered that the organisms in each of the five kingdoms have a different method of obtaining nutrients and are therefore fundamentally different.

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus classified the organisms into 3 groups-plant, animal, or mineral which were later modified and revised by the other scientists like Ernst Mayr who proposed 3 kingdom classification, Copeland who proposed 4 kingdom classification and R.H Whittaker who proposed 5 kingdom classification.

R.H Whittaker proposed 5 kingdom classification on the basis of certain features like body organization, cell structure, mode of nutrition and phylogenetic relationships.

Thus, third option is the correct answer.

1: the largest region of the brain is the:

  cerebrum

2. the term "psychology" literally means:

the process or procedure of the science or study of the mind.

3. the area of the brain responsible for respiration, heart rate, and smooth muscle control of our blood vessels is t

medulla oblongata

4. the structure that conducts nerve impulses to and from the brain and serves as a reflex center for some sensory information without input from the brain is the:

spinal cord

5. the three-layered membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord and literally means membrane is called the:

meninges

6. the cord-like (string-like) structures that carry bio-electrical impulses from one part of the body to another are called

nerves

7. a group of nerve cell bodies that are found outside of the spinal cord and brain are referred to as:

ganglions or ganglia (pl.) “literal meaning knot”

8. the term that means spinal cord inflammation is:

myel/itis
