Classify organisms based on the distinguishing characteristics of the domains and/or kingdoms of living organisms.. Section 1 - Biodiversity. Biologists have named and classified almost 2 million species. They believe the total is much greater.. Various methods of classification have been used to organize their knowledge of the tremendous number of species. Species have been placed in categories based on particular characteristics..
