Together with inulin fiber, fructooligosaccharides are probably most recognized for their prebiotic qualities. They are very similar but not identical to inulin: the difference being in their chemical structures. Fructo-oligosaccharide chains of molecules are shorter than inulin chains. This type of FOS is not natural. Most is manufactured using a chemical process, in which fungal enzymes are added to white sugar (sucrose), acting upon it and turning it into FOS.

Carolus Linnaeus is the father of taxonomy, which is the system of classifying and naming organisms. One of his contributions was the development of a hierarchical system of classification of nature. A Swedish naturalist named Carolus Linnaeus is considered the 'Father of Taxonomy' because, in the 1700s, he developed a way to name and organize species that we still use today. His two most important contributions to taxonomy were: 1 A hierarchical classification system", "This Linnaean system of classification was widely accepted by the early 19th century and is still the basic framework for all taxonomy in the biological sciences today. The Linnaean system uses two Latin name categories, genus and species, to designate each type of organism. A genus is a higher level category that includes one or more species under it. Such a dual level designation is referred to as a binomial nomenclature or binomen (literally two names in Latin). In this tutorial you will be learning about the Linnaean system of classification used in the biological sciences to describe and categorize all living things. The focus is on finding out how humans fit within this system.", "Implicitly it includes a system for naming genera, since the first part of the name of the species is a genus name.

Binomial nomenclature is thus an important part of taxonomy as it is the system by which species are named.", "The process of naming and classifying organisms according to set of rules is called taxonomy. In some cultures, taxonomic rules are based traditional uses for plants and animals, and the existence of classification system facilities the transfer of that knowledge through generations. Summary.
