Answer:
1. MYTH
A dead organism is the same as a non-living thing in Science.
FACT
A dead organism is NOT the same as a non living thing in Science.
Evidence #1
Things that are non living never had the characteristics of life, and never will. Things that are dead once did have the characteristics of life, but when they die, they lose some of the characteristics.
Evidence #2
Once- living things are made up of different things then non-living things. While a rock is a nonliving thing, it doesn't contain the same build as living things. If we were to look at a dead once living being, we could probably conclude that it was a living thing since it contains things like cells, proteins, etc.
2. MYTH
The Linneaus system of classification will always stay the same.
FACT
The Linneaus system of classification will NOT always stay the same.
Evidence #1
The linnaeus system of classification can always change. Due to a new species being found or something not fitting certain descriptions. The Linnaeus system is based off of these important elements. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
Evidence #2
Initially, Kingdom was the highest class in the system; however, later on, scientists introduced a class above this, the Domain. So if they changed it then why couldn’t they change it now?
3. MYTH
Tigers and Goldfish are not related.
FACT
Tigers and goldfish are not related.
Evidence #1
Tigers and Goldfish belong to different “classes”. Tigers belong to class mammalian, while goldfish belong to class Actinopterygii.
Evidence #2
Although all living things share common ancestors from billions of years ago, they branched off and continued to do so since then. The only relation these two organisms share is distant DNA patterns.
4. MYTH
An organism’s kingdom only describes physical characteristics.
FACT
An organism’s kingdom does NOT only describe physical characteristics.
Evidence #1
Kingdom Plantae: They obtain their food through photosynthesis.
Kingdom Animalia: They obtain their food through hunting or consuming other organisms.
Evidence #2
Although before the rise of genetics and evolutionary sciences this may have been the case, it isn't anymore. We now have the ability to analyze DNA, as well as actually pick apart what makes the organism what it is.
5. MYTH
Mammals and plants don’t belong in the same domain.
FACT
Mammals and plants DO belong in the same domain.
Evidence #1
All plants, fungi, protists, and animals possess eukaryotic cells, which places them in the same domain.
Evidence #2
