Classification
2
History of Classification 384-322 B.C. - Aristotle (Greek Philosopher) Created first written classification scheme –TWO Groups - Plants & Animals Animal group - anything that lived on land, in the water or in the air. Plant group - based this on their different stems
3
History of Classification 1700's - Carols Linnaeus - –established a simple system for classifying and naming organisms –Based on structural similarities of organism –Binomial Nomenclature - 2 name naming system - still in use today. –Created a system of groups called TAXA or TAXON –Each Taxon is a category into which related organisms are placed Approximantly 2.5 million kinds of organisms identified
4
7 Levels of Hierarchy Kingdom- Broadest level Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species- Most specific level/ organisms most closely related
5
Evidence used to classify/ relation Embryology Chromosomes/ DNA Biochemistry Physiology Evolution Behavior
6
Binomial Nomenclature Two name naming system for naming organisms. Developed by Carolus Linneaus Genus + species Examples: –Human- Homo sapien –Red maple- rubum sacchrum –Some organism may have the same species name but a different genus. (They are different organisms)
7
Six Kingdoms 1)Archeabacteria 2)Eubacteria 3)Protist 4)Fungi 5)Plant 6)Animal
8
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria Prokaryotic Cells Cell Wall Unicellular Auto or Heterotroph Most are asexual (binary fission) Some decomposers (saprophytes- feed on dead)
9
1. Kingdom Archaebacteria Very old bacteria that can withstand extreme conditions Most do chemosynthesis/ anareobic respiration Habitat: (very hot, acidic, high pressure, no light, no oxygen) –Volcanoes –Hot springs –Deep ocean
10
2. Kingdom Eubacteria True bacteria Cynobacteria- blue green algae Convert nitrogen into nitrates needed by plants Habitat: anywhere but not extreme conditions
11
Pros and Cons of Bacteria Cons: –Cause diseases (treat using an antibiotic) Pros –Decompose dead organisms –Cleanup oil spills –Make medicines (antibiotics) –Make food: Cheese and yogurt
12
3. Kingdom Protista Eukaryotic Cells Some have cell walls Uni/ Multicellular Auto or Heterotroph Most asexual Most aquatic
13
4. Kingdom Fungi Eukaryotic Cells Uni/ Multicellular 100% Heterotroph (decomposers) Sexual and Asexual Most are terrestrial Nonmotile
14
Kingdom Plantae Eukaryotic Cells Cell wall- chitin (carbohydrate) Multicellular 100% Autotrophs Sexual and Asexual Nonmotile
15
Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic Cells No Cell wall Multicelllular 100% Heterotroph Most Sexual Most motile
16
Review Who came up with the classification system we now use? What is binomial nomenclature? Scientific Name is the Genus + species 7 Levels of hierarchy Six Kingdoms
17
Who am I Mostly unicellular, has a cell wall, mostly anaerobic or chemosynthesis, can withstand extreme conditions All heterotrophs, has a cell wall, decomposers, All heterotrophs, most are multicellular, motile All are autotroph, multicellular, a/sexual, nonmotile, Like and animal, unicellular, motile, heterotroph Like a plant, autotroph, cell wall, usually aquatic Like a fungus, decomposer, cell wall,
