Question

select the word that means a system of terms used in a particular science. carl linnaeus was born in sweden in 1707. while attending medical school, he realized that he loved plants and botanical studies far more than medicine. he determined to research plants from all over the world and organized expeditions to seek out plants not yet known in europe. as linnaeus worked on classifying all the specimens he collected, he became frustrated that in many cases, the plants had been given duplicative or inconsistent names. so he developed a new nomenclature for all plants and animals, using a two - word designation of latin names for the genus and species of each specimen. humans, for example, are homo (genus) sapiens (species). in latin, this means \wise person.\

Explanation:

The text describes Carl Linnaeus developing a new system of terms (a two - word designation of Latin names for genus and species) for plants and animals. The key concept here is a system of terms in a scientific context (biology, specifically taxonomy). The word "nomenclature" means a system of names or terms used in a particular field (in this case, the scientific field of biology for classifying organisms).

Answer:

nomenclature
