3.)Using the information from the data you collected, describe three examples of how are plants and animals are similar?

4.)As an archeological biologist, you discover an organism that you believe could be either a new species of plant or fungus. What are some differences between plants and fungi? What specific characteristics that you observed from this activity might help you classify this organism?

Answer and explanation:

Similar to the way librarians organize their books, taxonomists and biologists can classify living organisms.

In terms of biology, the taxonomic categories of species is a system used to group different species according to their physical and functional characteristics and their phylogenetic relationship.

Taxonomy can classify living organisms into domains - according to their cellular characteristics, as well as placing them in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.

For example, man (Homo sapiens) is classified, according to his taxonomy in:

The taxonomic classification system is a way of establishing differences and similarities among living beings, as well as offering an approximation to their morphology and specific functions within nature.

Plants belong to the Plantae kingdom, while animals belong to the Animalia kingdom, and there are clear differences between them:

The similarities between plants and animals are based on the general characteristics of some living organisms:

Some differences between plants and mushrooms are:

An observable characteristic that allows us to establish the difference between plants and fungi is that plants are generally green, due to the presence of chlorophyll, necessary to carry out photosynthesis, while fungi are of variable colors, such as white, yellow, reddish or brown (they lack chlorophyll).

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
