1. Warmup What are the seven levels of organization?

2. Taxonomy The Science of describing, classifying, and naming living things. Developed by linnaeus Use shared characteristics More shared characteristics = more shared relationships.

3. Branching diagrams

4. What are the 7 levels? 7 Levels Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species 8 levels Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

5. What are the kingdoms? Archaebacteria Ancient bacteria Eubacteria Common bacteria Protists Mostly plant and animal like microorganisms Plants Animals Duh Fungi Mushrooms, molds.

6. What is a domain Domains tie together kingdoms based on similar cell/dna structure. Archaebacteria Bacteria Eukaryotes Plants Protists Fungi Animals
