50、CCBDA BDADC(C)More than five million different kinds of。喈q丽zs(生物体)live on the Earth. For thousands of years, humans have searched for ways to organize this 由(多样性).In the eighteenth century, a Swedish professor, physician, and naturalist named Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of naming and class
51、ifying organisms that we use today.Linnaeus contributed to the modern classification of organisms in two ways. He first developed a convention for naming life forms.Before Linnaeus came up with a standardized system of naming, there were often many names for a single species, and these names tended
52、to be long and confusing. Linnaeus decided that all species names should be in Latin and should have two parts, one indicating the ges(plural: genera), a group that includes similar species and one indicating the specific name of the species. When written alone, the specific name is meaningless sinc
53、e many different species in different genera have the same specific name. The specific name familiaris, for example, is commonly used to describe species. Therefore, when used by itself, it would not describe any one organism. When the genus is also given, however, as in Canis familiaris, we know th
54、at the name refers to a specific organism: the domestic dog.Linnaeus was also the originator of modem taxonomy, a system of classifying nature based on hierarchical(分层的)groupings. Linnaeus first grouped life forms into three broad groups, called kingdoms. These kingdoms were animals, plants, and min
55、erals. He divided each of these kingdoms into classes, classes into orders, orders into genera (genus is singular) and then genera into species, grouping organisms according to shared physical characteristics.Although modem taxonomists still use the hierarchical structure of Linnaeuss classification
56、 system as well as his method of grouping organisms according to observable similarities, they have added hierarchical levels and significantly changed Linnaeuss original groupings. The broadest level of life is now a domain. All living things fit into only three domains. Within each of these domain
57、s there are kingdoms. Each kingdom contains phyla (singular is phylum), followed by class, order, family, genus, and species.In addition to the Linnaean kingdoms of plants and animals, biologists recognize prokaryotes, protists, and fungi as separate kingdoms. The prokaryotes are the oldest and most
58、 abundant group of organisms. They are also the smallest cellular organisms. Common bacteria, which have been known to survive in many environments that support no other form of life, fall into this category. The protist kingdom is made up of a variety of single-celled or simple multicellular organisms. Protists do not have much in common. They are, essentially, those organisms which do not fit into any other kingdom. Fungi compose a third kingdom. Like plants, the cells of fungi have cell walls, giving them a tub
