PLEASE HELP ME with some homework questions polease!!?

Question

1.) Make a mnemonic device to help you remember the seven taxonomic levels in order from largest to smallest or from smallest to largest. (10 points)
For example:
King Philip Came Over From Germany Sailing
King= Kingdom (largest group)
Philip= Phylum
Came= Class
Over= Order
From= Family
Germany= Genus
Sailing= Species (smallest group)
(This example goes from largest to smallest).

2.) Where do you see examples of classification used to organize the world around you? Explain.

3.) Why do we need classification systems?

I have no Idea what to do!!!?
Thanks a Bunch Ashley-
Whoever helps the most I'll make the best answer-

This is biology the paper is called
Taxonomy:Getting things organized

Answer 1

sorry. i thought about it. this is why i hurried up and graduated.

Answer 2

answer to question 1 just put the words in order from largest to smallest or vice versa and make up a nuemonic device which is a group of words beginning with the first letter of each of the words on your list ex:
Kids
Play
Chess
On
Frogs
Green
Stomach
The beginning letters are there to help you remember the other words. This example is also funny which will make it easy to remember. Hope it helps.

Other examples of classification used to organize the world could be the military. Ranks are used to determine authority, talk to someone you know, who knows something about the military or look it up and find all the ranks. You know like Sargeant, Colonel, ect.

Classification systems are needed for various reasons. Like I said above they are needed to decide authority, the gov could be another example. You have the President, the Vice President, Secretary of Treasury and so forth. Just do some research and you'll do just fine.

Answer 3

Dont think of this as one long confusing question.
Lets break it into parts shall we?
First thing is first
I need you to find out what a "mnemonic device" So I suggest googling it or going to Wikipedia.org
Next lets look up "taxonomic"
Next we after doing the above we should look up "classification systems" on google for some more examples to get a better idea.

And from there we'll have a better idea of what this question is asking exactly is just takes some patience and research. Once you know the answer to #1, Question 2 and 3 will become 100 times easier.

You may want to write all of this down on a piece of paper, write the definitions, See some examples and then you'll understand.

Answer 4

Hi Ashley. I'm going to try and help you a bit with this, but by no means this is an absolute answer. You can see these types of classification used a lot in biology, especially when you talk about infectious organisms and things like that. If you have a certain illness or something it is helpful for your doctor to know what exact organism is causing that illness so he/she can find the appropriate treatment. You see classifications used to rate movies (what audiences can watch what), you see classification in libraries (to group books, media, etc). These are just some examples, just to get you into the path of thinking about other places/things where you see classification.

You need classification systems to keep records and things organized. Imagine what would happen if one scientist called an organism by one name or system and another scientist called that same organism in another way. It would be a mess. So to keep things uniform between and among disciplines classification systems are used. Imagine that there was no way to classify books in a library. How much time would you need to spend finding a book or novel among thousands of volumes of information? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Hope this info can guide you into elaborating an answer to your questions.

By the way .... that's a very good rhyme!

Answer 5

First of all, what are the seven taxonomic levels? If they are the things you listed, just replace the words given with something else, ideally something that will make a sentence that you can easily remember. (If you don't understand what a mnemonic is, it's using the first letter of each work in a list you want to remember and using that letter to create other words that you can more easily remember. Like for music--the lines are EGBDF. Somebody took the letters and used them as the first letters for the words in a sentence: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.) 2. Do you understand what classification is? Re-read the information (textbook or whatever it is) that you've been given and maybe check out a dictionary. Then think about what you have seen around you. It'd be hard for me to just provide examples without a better context of what you are looking at. Things such as grades (like grade 1, grade 2) for specific ages or how a department store is organized, things like that might be applicable. 3. This may be a question that is answered in your book or it may be to specifically have you think. Brainstorm! If really stuck, think about the opposite: what would happen if we had NO classification systems?

Answer 6

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Look up taxonomy in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.For the science of classifying living things, see alpha taxonomy.
Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. The word comes from the Greek τάξις, taxis, 'order' + νόμος, nomos, 'law' or 'science'. Taxonomies, which are composed of taxonomic units known as taxa (singular taxon), are frequently hierarchical in structure, commonly displaying parent-child relationships.


This seems to be a way to classify objects that are alike, for instance, insects that have eight legs, or types of animals like mammals, reptiles, etc.


Sweetie, this is a hard one, I think you have a lot of research ahead. This is a subject someone would have to figure out for themselves. You will probably need to skip Yahoo Answers for a while and hit the books.....ask your teacher for some help. Don't think you are alone, I kind of remember this from freshman Biology, and the only thing I remember about it is I was glad when it was over.

Answer 7

Kyle & Philip Came Over For Grandma's Soup

There are many kinds of insects in the natural world. They are are all connected by they're Family or Genus. Every animal you've seen (land or water) is the way it is and has qualities it has because of these 7 taxonomic levels.

This classification system helps scientists name or classify a species they don't know. For example, humans are homo sapiens. Our Genus is Homo and our species is Sapien.

Answer 8

#1 is easy, just think.

2.) At the library, music stores, (abc order, genre, fiction/non fiction, etc...)

3.) We need classification systems because it shows evolutionary history between organisms, and it makes it easier for scientists to study them. Basically, it keeps everything organized.

Answer 9

i dont know about 1 but i think i know about 2. here is the awnser well king philip is an example of it what happens around us because he is a king and sailing.plus family is one so there is some help. number 3 is because they help us to organize what goes on in the world.

Answer 10

Homework!
Looks more like you are asking for answers to a test.
Maybe you smuggled your cell phone into the classroom.
