Question

Write a note on two kingdoms classification by Linnaeus.

Answer 1

Linnaeus placed all the living organisms into two kingdoms. The two major kingdoms are kingdom Plantae for plants and kingdom Animalia for animals. This two kingdom classification laid the base for modern classification and was quite a reasonable at that period of time, plants and animals in this system could be very clearly distinguished.
Plants are fixed, stationary in the soil, absorb water for growth and could prepare their own food.On the other hand, animals are capable of movement and they get nutrition by feeding on other plants and animals for their growth and survival. These were the differences that led to the distinction of plants and animals in the two kingdom classification.
