Taxonomy The science of classifying organisms. Classify To arrange according to similarities or differences.

Why classify? Biologists use classification to organize living things into groups so that the organisms are easier to study. We classify to make our lives easier.

History of Taxonomy

Aristotle Simple classifications Used common names Plant or animal? If an animal does it have blood? does it – Fly – Swim – Walk/Crawl

DISCUSSION QUESTION - Using Aristotle's 3- group system (based on movement), name 2 animals that would fit each of the 3 groups.

Problems with this system? Some animals can walk, swim, and fly

What technology helped scientist improve the classification system? Microscope -1600s

Carolus Linnaeus 1700s Described organisms with two word names, instead of polynomials Developed binomial nomenclature First word = Genus name (Capitalized) Second word = species name (lowercase) scientific name – Example Canis lupus Always italicized or underlined

Why binomial nomenclature? Binomial - 2 name Nomenclature – naming system Much easier than a 10+ word name under old “polynomial system” Same name no matter where you go (Latin) Less confusion

Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Three Domains of Life There used to be 2, why do you think there are 3 now?

Domain Archaeabacteria: Life's Extremists...! Archaea are found in the harshest environments on Earth, and are the oldest known organisms on Earth, appearing in the fossil record over 3.6 BILLION years ago (3,600,000,000 years ago!)

Domain Bacteria (or Eubacteria): is familiar to most people when associated with human or animal disease. However, most bacterial species do not (and cannot) cause disease. Most species even play beneficial roles for humans by producing antibiotics and food.

Domain Eukarya A single-celled or multicellular organism whose cells contain a distinct membrane-bound nucleus. (Organism’s cell has a nucleus.)

Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Pro = before

Why has taxonomy changed throughout history? Do you think it will continue to change?

Prokaryotes We are now filling out our charts

Archaea Unicellular prokaryotes Autotrophs Cell wall

Eukaryotes Eu = true Have membrane bound nuclei

Most are unicellular

Phylum examples Chordata Cord Chordates Hollow dorsal nervous chord, notochord, pharyngeal slits, endostyle, post-anal tail about 100,000+ Cnidaria Stinging nettle Coelenterates Nematocysts (stinging cells) about 11,000 Ctenophora Comb bearer Comb jellies Eight "comb rows" of fused cilia about 100 modern species Cycliophora Wheel carrying Symbion Circular mouth surrounded by small cilia
