Is your closet organized?

Living things are organized into 6 groups

THE 6 KINGDOMS OF LIVING THINGS ARE: 1.Archaebacteria 2.Eubacteria 3.Protista 4.Fungi 5.Plants 6.Animals

Why are things grouped (classified)?  Organization  Communication

Classification  The systematic grouping of organisms into categories on the basis of evolutionary or structural relationships between them.  Also known as the science of taxonomy.

What is a primate?  hands and feet which are adapted for grasping,  their thumbs and big toes can be moved to touch the other digits and are known as opposable digits,  eyes on the front of the face - binocular vision. This is a great help in judging distance accurately,

What do all hominids have?  bipedalism and large brains bipedalismbrains bipedalismbrains  share more than 97% of their DNA with the modern human genome, and exhibit a capacity for language or for simple cultures beyond the family.

Binomial nomenclature  C. Linnaeus developed a system that gives a 2 word name to every organism.  The 2 word naming system is called binomial nomenclature  It helps to avoid confusion  It uses the Genus and species name only

Some common names  Canis familiaris - dog  Felis domesticus - cat  Canis lupus - wolf  Vulpes vulpes - fox  Ichthyomyzon gagi - brook lamprey  Populus deltoides - cottonwood  Cercis canadensis - red bud  Diospyros virginiana - persimmon  Carya illinoensis - pecan

Classification and evolution According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, members that are grouped together have similar characteristics because they descended from a common ancestor Classification shows the evolutionary relationships the evolutionary relationships of organisms

A dichotomous key  is used to identify organisms that you do not already know.  Means "two forks".  A dichotomous key is one tool that can be used to identify trees or any other organism
