There are some characteristics that scientists considered before they classify organisms, these characteristics include the following:

1. The number of cell present in the organism: on the basis of number of cell, an organism can be classified as a prokaryote or an eukaryote.

2. Mode of feeding: an organism can be categorized as an autotroph or a heterotroph based on the way it obtains its food.

3. Mode of reproduction: an organism can be classified as sexual or asexual based on the method it uses to reproduce its offspring.
