TEXT I Classification, in biology, the identification, naming, and grouping of organisms into a formal system. The huge numbers of living forms must be named and arranged in an orderly manner so that biologists all over the world can be sure they know the exact organism that is being examined and a nd discussed. Groups of organisms must be defined by the selection of important characteristics, or shared traits, that make the members of each group similar to one another and unlike members of other groups. Modern classification schemes also attempt to place groups into categories that will reflect an understanding understanding of the evolutionary processes underlying the similarities and differences among organisms. Such categories form a kind of pyramid, or hierarchy, in which the different levels should represent the different degrees of evolutionary relationship. The hierarchy extends upward from several million species, each made up of individual organisms that are closely related, to a few kingdoms, each containing large assemblages of organisms, many of which are only distantly related.
49 A B C D
In what way should organisms be named? According to each country biologists. According to American biologists According to university teachers. According to worldwide science

TEXT II Recent Research. The metals, the halogens, and silicon have been traditional traditional subjects of research for inorganic chemists. Since World War II, the field of boron chemistry has grown rapidly because of interest in the chemical similarities of boron to carbon and silicon. For example, boron forms covalent bonds with itself and with certain other elements, much as do carbon and silicon. In metallic chemistry, the synthesis of organometallic and coordination compounds, and the study of their chemical and physical properties, have attracted interest among chemists during the past three decades. Organometallic compounds are organic molecules containing at least one atom of a metal bonded to a carbon atom. A familiar example of this class of substance is tetraethyl lead, which is often added to the gasoline that fuels internal-combustion engines. Other organometallic compounds include catalysts used in plastic manufacture and in organic synthesis. The molecules of coordination compounds are characterized by a central metallic atom surrounded by and bonded to nonmetallic atoms or groups of atoms termed ligands. Examples of this class of compound include hemoglobin, chlorophyll, vitamin B12, and many catalysts, dyes, and pigments. Other branches of inorganic chemistry include solid-state chemistry, which is concerned with, among other things, the chemistry of semiconductors; semiconductors; ceramic chemistry; high-temperature and high-pressure chemistry; geochemistry; and the chemistry of the transuranium elements, the elements of the actinide series, and the rare earth elements.
