Classification What does classification mean? What do we know about it? How is it done? What are the “6 Kingdoms of Life”?

Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family - Genus - Species

Carl Linnaeus = Swedish (born 1701 – died 1778) Binomial Nomenclature = A two name naming system Changed the way scientists name and classify organisms

Kingdom KING Phylum PHILIP Class CAME Order OVER Family FROM - Genus GREAT - Species SPAIN

Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Primates Family = Hominidae - Genus = Homo - Species = sapiens

Classification System 6 Kingdoms Classification System

Unicellular organisms Live in extreme environments No true nucleus Archaebacteria Unicellular organisms Live in extreme environments No true nucleus

Thermophilic (heat loving) Archaebacteria Strain at hot springs in Yellowstone Park

Archaebacteria clustered around this deep sea volcanic vent, where there is complete darkness, no oxygen, superheated water, and a chemical soup of dissolving minerals.

Methanogens inside a rumen, are responsible for producing methane in the gut of livestock

Eubacteria Unicellular organisms Usually inhabiting environments easily studied No true nucleus

Lactobacillus helps to digest diary in the human gut Lactobacillus helps to digest diary in the human gut. It is also used for the production of yogurt, cheese, chocolate, kimchi, and other foods.

Leprosy

Actinomyces - Plaque

Protista Most are unicellular; few are multicellular organisms Without specialized tissue

Plasmodium falciparum, protozoan parasite which causes Malaria

Trypanosoma brucei causes African Sleeping Disease

Diatoms, a type of algae and the most common type of phytoplankton

Fungi Unicellular and multicellular organisms Cannot make their own food Absorb and digest material they grow on

Yeast Microscopic pictures of one species of yeast Dry, active yeast used for baking

Molds Rots food Used to make cheeses

Mushrooms Some good for eating Some for medicinal purposes Some have no stalks… they look completely different! Some are toxic

Multicellular organisms Use photosynthesis to make food Plants Multicellular organisms Use photosynthesis to make food
