Taxonomy 2

This document discusses biological classification and taxonomy. It provides information on key figures in the development of classification systems, such as Linnaeus who established binomial nomenclature and developed taxonomic hierarchy. It also summarizes different classification systems proposed over time, including two kingdom, three kingdom, five kingdom systems developed by Linnaeus, Haeckel, and Whittaker respectively. The five kingdom system categorizes organisms into Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia based on characteristics like cell structure, nutrition mode, and organism complexity.
