APPLICATION / ANALYSIS
Q12. A scientist discovers a new organism with the following characteristics:
• Multicellular
• No cell wall
• Heterotrophic nutrition
• Can move from place to place
• Has specialised tissues and organs
(a) In which kingdom would you place this organism? Give reasons.
(b) If this organism were found to have chlorophyll in some cells, would you change its kingdom? Explain.
(c) A student argues: "Since humans are the most intelligent animals, we should have our own separate kingdom." Do you agree? Give reasons based on classification criteria.
Q13. In India, cows are considered sacred and are domesticated for milk, while tigers are wild animals protected in national parks.
(a) What characteristics place both cows and tigers in the Kingdom Animalia?
(b) Despite being in the same kingdom, how do their modes of nutrition differ? What are such animals called?
(c) Why is it important to classify both cows and tigers in the same kingdom even though they look and behave very differently?
