Aristotle divided living things into plants and animals and then subdivided animals into land, water and air. He subdivided plants into small, medium, and large. This caused problem because some animals traveled by walking, swimming and flying.

∙ 6y agoHe divided animals into blood or bloodless which is pretty much animals and plants. Then he divided those into how they traveled: by flying, by land, or by water.

Linnaeus placed organisms into groups based on their features that he could observe?
The first scientist to classify animals based on observable features (if that's what you're asking) was Aristotle. He divided all the animals into three main categories: those that run, those that swim, and those that fly. He also divided those genres into subcategories, but I don't have any information for you about the specifics. If you're wondering who invented the modern system of taxonomy, I'm fairly certain it evolved over many centuries from Aristotle's original system. There are probably many scientists who have transformed and revised it over time.
What is biology class?
a taxonomic group to classify organisms: Here is the main list of groups, with an example (most to least inclusive)Domain...EukaryaKingdom...AnimaliaPhylum...ChordataClass...MammaliaOrder...PrimataFamily...HominidaeGenus...HomoSpecies...H. sapiensIntermediate groups can also be establishedi.e. sub-phylum or super-class
Why do biologist classify organism?
Biologists classify organisms into various groups or categories. This enables scientists to organize the millions of kind so of living things based on shared characteristics and to help in the identification of newly discovered organisms. If an organism shares many traits in common with another, the two organisms will be classified or categorized as belonging to the same group. The more closely related two organisms seem to be, the more taxa they will have in common. In this way, scientists can begin to understand the evolutionary relationship of organisms. Classifying organisms also makes naming organisms simpler: due to language and cultural differences, it may be confusing for scientists from around the world who were studying organisms if each organism had a unique name in each country. Classifying organisms within an understood set of rules allows scientists to discuss specific organisms with less confusion.
Many of the organisms living today have not been identified because they are?
small, cryptic, or live in hard-to-reach habitats. Additionally, some organisms may have unique adaptations or genetic variations that make them difficult to classify. The vastness and complexity of Earth's ecosystems also contribute to the challenge of identifying all organisms.
What are three types of information scientists use to classify organisms into five kingdoms?
There are many types of information used by modern taxonomists to classify organisms. Two types of information used for this purpose include whether the organism has a present backbone or not; and the body covering of the organism such as fur, feathers, skin, hair, etc..

How many kingdoms or large groups do most scientist use to classify organisms and what are the names of these kingdoms?
Most scientists use six kingdoms to classify organisms: Animalia (animals), Plantae (plants), Fungi (fungi), Protista (unicellular eukaryotes), Archaea, and Bacteria. This system provides a broad way to categorize living organisms based on their evolutionary relationships and characteristics.
Aristotle divided living organisms into two categories?
Aristotle initially divided living organisms only into two groups which are plants and animals. The system was not proven to be good because there were too many species of plants and animals. However, the system was used for 2000 until the time of Linnaeus.
Why do you need to classify organisms?
because there are so many types of organism that affects our environment and life. : )
Who was the first scientist who classified organisms?
Carolus Linnaeus.He was born in Swedish country Ra ruff village .He is very poor.His work is sweing the shoes.And then when he was young,he was interested to collect the types of many plants............etc.
Which of Aristotle's concepts are still in use in classification systems today?
Aristotle's concept of the hierarchical classification system based on similarities and differences is still used in modern taxonomic classifications. His idea of organizing organisms into groups and subgroups based on shared characteristics is the basis for the Linnaean classification system used today in biology to categorize living organisms.
What are the many types of organisms classified into groups?
Plantae
Who classified organisms?
many people have classified organisms and the classification has been changed many times throughout history, the first person believed to classify organisms was Aristotle, he classified organims into two groups, Animal, and Plant
How Do scientists classify organisms?
Before the 1600's, many scientists divided organisms into two groups: plants and animals. But as more organisms were discovered, some did not fit into eaither group. In the 1700's, CarolusLinnaes, a Swedish scientist founded modern taxonomy. Taxonomy- is the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things based on their shape and structure.
