3. Species of Organisms There are 13 billion known species of organismsThere are 13 billion known species of organisms This is only 5% of all organisms that ever lived!!!!!This is only 5% of all organisms that ever lived!!!!! New organisms are still being found and identifiedNew organisms are still being found and identified copyright cmassengale 3

4. What is Classification? Classification: is the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities Classification is also known as taxonomy Taxonomists are scientists that identify & name organisms Taxonomists are scientists that identify & name organisms copyright cmassengale 4

5. Benefits of Classifying Accurately & uniformly names organismsAccurately & uniformly names organisms Prevents misnomers such as starfish & jellyfish that aren't really fishPrevents misnomers such as starfish & jellyfish that aren't really fish Uses same language (Latin or some Greek) for all namesUses same language (Latin or some Greek) for all names copyright cmassengale 5 Sea”horse”??

8. Early Taxonomists 2000 years ago, Aristotle was the first taxonomist.2000 years ago, Aristotle was the first taxonomist. Aristotle divided organisms into plants & animals Aristotle divided organisms into plants & animals He subdivided them by their habitat (land, sea, or air dwellers)He subdivided them by their habitat (land, sea, or air dwellers) copyright cmassengale 8

Early Taxonomists John Ray, a botanist, was the first to use Latin for namingJohn Ray, a botanist, was the first to use Latin for naming His names were very long descriptions telling everything about the plantHis names were very long descriptions telling everything about the plant copyright cmassengale 9

10. Carolus Linnaeus 1707 – 1778 18th century taxonomist Classified organisms by their morphology (form & structure) Developed naming system still used today copyright cmassengale 10
