Explanation:

1. Similarities in structure: Organisms are grouped based on their structural similarities.
2. Kingdom: The kingdom is the largest classification group.
3. Taxonomy: Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying organisms.
4. Carolus Linnaeus: Our present classification system is based on Linnaeus' system.
5. Homo sapiens: The scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens.
6. Five - kingdom: Most biologists use a five - kingdom system.
7. Two - word: Binomial nomenclature is a two - word naming system.
8. Latin: Latin is used in classification.
9. Classes: Each phylum is divided into classes.
10. Orders: Classes are subdivided into orders.
11. Animal: The kingdom that includes humans is Animal.
12. Plants: The five kingdoms include plants.
13. Monera: Organisms without a nuclear membrane are in Monera.
14. Species: The smallest grouping is the species.
15. Plants: Multicellular organisms with chlorophyll are plants.
16. Humans: Homo sapiens is humans.
17. Bacteria: Bacteria are an example of Monera.
18. One: Protists are single - celled.
19. Mushroom: A mushroom is an example of Fungi.
20. Confusion: Latin avoids naming confusion.
