Two kingdom classification does not distinguish between
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The two-kingdom classification by Carolus Linnaeus divided organisms only into Plantae and Animalia. It had several limitations because it did not distinguish between:
• Eukaryotes and prokaryotes (e.g., bacteria vs plants/animals)
• Unicellular and multicellular organisms (e.g., Amoeba vs humans)
• Photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms (e.g., green algae vs fungi).
