Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Aristotle began to classify organisms long before Linnaeus. His classification system was based on
how organisms looked. Linnaeus had a more accurate system for classification that looked at the traits
of the organisms and created a hierarchy. Information can be found in the section Oceanic Life Is
