Clasificando a los seres vivos: clasificación a los cosas vivientes

The video explains how scientists classify living things, a complex process often based on physical appearance, such as body shape or internal structures like skeletons. When organisms look similar, scientists may examine developmental stages, genetic information, or behavior. Taxonomists specialize in this classification work.

What is one of the main challenges in classifying living organisms?

• The complexity of the classification process

• Finding enough species to classify

• Too many scientists working on classification

• Lack of interest in classification

Which of the following is a basis for classifying living things by physical appearance?

• The habitat of the organism

• The shape of the body or leaf

• The diet of the organism

• The color of the organism

What internal structure might be used to classify living things?

• The respiratory system

• The nervous system

• The skeleton

• The digestive system

When organisms look similar, what other characteristic might scientists examine?

• Their habitat

• Their early developmental stages

• Their diet

• Their lifespan

Who are the scientists that specialize in classifying living things?

• Biologists

• Ecologists

• Taxonomists

• Geneticists
