 Kingdom = Eubacteria  Cell type = Prokaryote  Unicellular  Cell structures are cell walls with peptidoglycan  Can be autotroph or heterotroph  Some examples of bacteria are Streptococcus and Escherichia coli

 Kingdom is Archaebacteria  It is a prokaryote  Cell walls without peptidoglycan  Unicellular  Autotroph or heterotroph  Some examples are methanogens or halophiles

 Kingdoms  “Protista”  Eukaryote  Cell walls of cellulose in some; some have chloroplasts  Autotroph or heterotroph  Examples include slime molds, and giant kelp  Fungi  Eukaryote  Cell walls of chitin  Most of them are multicellular; some unicellular  Heterotroph  Some examples include mushrooms and yeast.

 Kingdoms:  Plantae  Eukaryote  Cell walls of cellulose; chloroplasts  Most multicellular: some green algae unicellular  Autotroph  Examples include mosses and ferns  Animalia  Eukaryote  No cell walls or chloroplasts  Multicellular  Heterotroph  Examples include sponges and worms

 Binomial Nomenclature – a two word naming system  In Binomial Nomenclature, each species is assigned a two part scientific name  A genus is a group of similar species

 Species = Specific type of certain genus.  Genus = Family or large group similar in nature.  Family = Several genera that share many similarities.  Order = Closely related families.  Class = Similar to orders but grouped in larger ranks.  Phylum = includes organisms that are different but share important characteristics.  Kingdom = all multi-cellular organisms.

 Phylogeny- The goal of phylogenetic systematic, or evolutionary classification, is to group species into larger categories that reflect lines of evolutionary descent, rather than overall similarities and differences  Clade- is a group of species that includes a single common answer  Monophyletic groups-includes a single common ancestor and all of its descendents  Cladogram-is a link of groups of organisms by showing how evolutionary lines, or lineages branched off from common ancestors

 Derived Character-is a trait that arose in the most recent common ancestor of a particular lineage and was passed along to its descendants  Systematic-is to organize living things into groups that have biological meaning and they are often called taxas
