Question 1
1 / -0

Classification involves hierarchy of steps in which each step represents taxonomic category. Each taxonomic category is referred to as a unit of classification and is commonly termed as taxon. Taxonomic hierarchy is a system of arranging all taxonomic categories in descending order with kingdom at the top and species at the base.
As we go up the taxonomical hierarchy, the number of individuals.' increases but the number of common characteristics goes on decreasing.
Q. If two organisms are in the same phylum, then the two organisms belong to the same

A
A. class

B. order

C
C. kingdom.

D
D. species

Solution

If two organisms are in the same phylum, then it means they both belong to the same kingdom, because kingdom is the rank of classification higher than phylum.

Question 6
1 / -0

There are millions of living organisms on earth. All these living organisms differ in shape, size, colour, habitat and many other characteristics.

Question 12
1 / -0

All living organisms are made of chemicals. These chemicals are constantly being made and changed into some other biomolecules. These conversions of chemicals into biomolecules are called chemical reactions or metabolic reactions.

Solution

Photosynthesis is an anabolic process during which plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide gas and water into sugar molecules. Respiration is a catabolic process during which glucose is broken down to release usable energy for a cell. Digestion is also catabolic reaction as it involves the breakdown of complex nutrients into simpler molecules.
