Kingdoms and phylums?

Question

i need 2 kno wat a phylum and a kingdom is i just want 2 make sure if im rite can u give an example. like a phylum is a ........ and a kingdom is an .....................

Answer 1

Well, there isn't a specific definition of what a kingdom is and what a phylum is as far as I know. But to help you remember what order the 7 levels of classification are in my teacher taught us this: King PHilip Came Over For Ginger Snaps.
Kingdom, PHylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Kingdom is simply the largest classification of an organism and the most vague of all names. Phylum is the next largest and the second most vague.

Answer 2

Kingdom and Phylums are categories. If you can, think of it like a filing cabinet.

Kingdom is essentially two folders, Plants or Animals. Those folders contain multiple Phylum folders, which are subcategories within Kingdoms. I believe Phylum for Animals would be Mammals, or Fish, or Reptiles or Amphibians.

Answer 3

Kingdom = animal or plant
Phyllum = internal or external skeleton

that's the simplest (but not the most accurate) description

Phylum (plural: phyla) is a taxon used in the scientific classification of life. "Phyla" is adopted from the Greek phylai the clan-based voting groups in Greek city-states. Phyla represent the largest generally accepted groupings of animals and other living things with certain evolutionary traits, although the phyla themselves may sometimes be grouped into superphyla (e.g. Ecdysozoa with eight phyla, including arthropods and roundworms; and Deuterostomia with the echinoderms, chordates, hemichordates and arrow worms). Informally, phyla can be thought of as grouping animals based on general body plan[1], e.g., having bones vs. having an exoskeleton. This is morphological grouping. But despite the seemingly different external appearances of organisms, they are classified into phyla based on their internal organizations[2]. For example, though seemingly divergent, spiders and crabs both belong to Arthropoda, whereas earthworms and tapeworms, similar in shape, are from Annelida and Platyhelminthes, respectively. Although the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature allows the use of the term "Phylum" in reference to plants, the term "Division" is almost always used by botanists.

The best known animal phyla are the Mollusca, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, the phylum humans belong to. Although there are approximately 35 phyla, these nine include the majority of the species. Many phyla are exclusively marine, and only one phylum is entirely absent from the world's oceans: the Onychophora or velvet worms. The most recently discovered phylum is Cycliophora[3] found in 1993; only three phyla were discovered in the last century.

The Cambrian explosion was a great flowering of life forms that occurred between roughly 542 and 530 million years ago; during this time all modern phyla (and many now-extinct ones) were established.[4] Over time the roles among different phyla have varied. For instance, during the Cambrian, the dominant megafauna, or large animals, were arthropods whereas now they are vertebrates (chordata).[5]

Scientific classification describes the following levels of organization (taxons) for classifying life forms: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, Subspecies. Thus Phylum is a rather broad classification. Also, the Three Domain System is now widely used and adds the level of Domain above Kingdom as the broadest classification.

A monarchy, from the Greek μονος, "one," and αρχειν, "to rule", is a form of government that has a Monarch as Head of State. A distinguishing characteristic of most monarchies is that the Monarch usually reigns as Head of State for life; in a republic, the Head of State (often called the president) is normally elected for a certain amount of time. There are currently 29 extant sovereign monarchies in the world.

The term monarchy is also used to refer to the people (especially the dynasty, also known as 'royalty') and institutions that make up the royal or imperial establishment, or to the realm over which the monarch reigns.

In most monarchies, the Monarch serves as a symbol of continuity and statehood. Many monarchies are constituted by tradition or by codified law so that the Monarch has little real political power, but in others the Monarch holds substantial power. In some cases, the symbolism of monarchy alongside the symbolism of democracy can lead to divisions over seemingly contradictory principles of sovereignty.

Monarchies are one of the oldest forms of government, with echoes in the leadership of tribal chiefs. Many monarchies began with the Monarch as the local representative and temporary embodiment of the deity: (King of Babylon). The Monarch often ruled at the pleasure of the deity and was overthrown or sacrificed when it became apparent that supernatural sanction had been withdrawn: Celestial Emperor of China, Mayan kings, Achaemenid King of Kings of Persia. Other Monarchs derived their power by acclamation of the ruling or of the warrior caste of a clan or group of clans: Kings of the Franks, Roman emperors. Even where law is simply the monarch's will, the king must rule by custom.

Since 1800, many of the world's monarchies have ceased to have a monarch and become republics, or become parliamentary democracies. Democratic countries which retain monarchy by definition limit the Monarch's power, with most having become constitutional monarchies. In England, this process began with the Magna Carta of 1215, although it did not reach democratic proportions until after the Glorious Revolution in 1689. In the modern media age, however, popular Monarchs can, independently of their formal role within the constitutional framework, through popularity and various contacts, acquire considerable influence via public opinion and/or politicians.

Among the few states that retain a rather absolute monarchy are Swaziland, Brunei, Bhutan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In Jordan and Morocco, the Monarch also retains considerable power. There are also recent (2003) developments in Liechtenstein, wherein the regnant prince was given the constitutional power to dismiss the government at will. Nepal had several swings between a constitutional role and direct rule related to the violent Maoist rebel movement and the palace killings by a suicidal crown prince.
