1
Classification of Living Organisms Why do we want to do this?
2
Carolus Linnaeus Swedish System of naming organisms – 2 kingdoms originally Binomial nomenclature 2 name naming system Changed to 5 kingdoms, then 3 Domains
3
How to write a scientific name 1 Capitalize 1 st word (genus) 2 Lower case for 2 nd word (species) 3 Underline or italicize Examples: –Homo sapiens –Pan troglodytes Next time genus can be abbreviated to 1 st letter H. sapiens
4
3 Domain Naming system Domain - Bacteria Archaea Eukarya Kingdom - Used to be Monera (Bacteria); Protista; Fungi; Plantae; Animalia Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
5
Pneumonic Device Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Dumb King Phillip Came Over For Great Sex
6
Example 1 Domain - Eukarya Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Chordata Class Mammalia Order Cetacea Family Delphinidae Genus Orcinus Species orca
7
Example - Humans Domain - Eukarya Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Chordata Class Mammalia Order Primata Family Hominidae Genus Homo Species sapiens
8
New vs Old
10
3 Domains
11
5 Kingdoms Common ancestor AnimaliaFungiProtistaMoneraPlantae
12
Characteristics of 5 Kingdoms Monera (Bacteria) -Single celled Prokaryotic Binary Fission (reproduction) Protista -Eukaryotic Single or Multicelled Producers, consumers or decomposers Fungi -Multicellular (usually) Eukarytotic decomposer Plantae -Multicellular Eukarytotic producer Animalia -Multicellular Eukarytotic consumer
14
How we are all related
15
Domain Archaea Unicellular Prokaryotes Lacks peptidoglycan in cell wall (Gram -) Extreme living – probably poor competitors Thermophiles – heat loving (Deep sea Thermal vents) Halophiles – salt loving (Dead sea, Great Salt Lake) Methanogens – produce methane Sulfur producing
16
Domain Bacteria Unicellular Prokaryotes Has peptidoglycan in cell wall (Gram +) Can be colonial or filamentous Blue green (algae) Cyanobacteria Chemoautotrophs (probably first cells ever) Nitrogen fixing bacteria
17
Domain Eukarya Kingdom Protista Single or Multicelled Eukaryotic Fungus-like (decomposers) end in –mycota Slime molds and water molds Animal-like (consumers) move by Cilia Flagella or Pseudopodia Plant-like photosynthetic (producers) Diatoms Dinoflagellates or Algae- Red; Green; Brown; or (Golden)
18
Domain Eukarya Kingdom Fungi Multicelled (usually) Eukaryotic Nucleus and Cell wall - chitin Decomposer Zygomycota – molds Ascomycota – Sac fungi (Mushrooms, puffballs, shelf fungi, rust) Basidiomycota – Club fungus, morels, truffles, yeast (most found in kitchen)
19
Domain Eukarya Kingdom Plantae Multicelled Eukaryotic Nucleus and Cell wall - cellulose Producer - photoautotroph Bryophytes (Moss, liverwort, hornwort) Pteridophytes (Club moss, horsetail, fern) Gymnosperms (Ginkgo, cycad, gnetophyte, conifer) Angiosperm (Dicot, Monocot)
21
Alternation of generations
22
Bryophytes Live on land No vascular tissue Need water to reproduce (swimming sperm, just like us) Gametophyte generation dominant, sporophyte dependent Moss Liverwort Hornwort
24
Gametophyte generation dominant
25
Pteridophytes Live on land Vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) Reproduce with spores Sori - spore producing structure (on ferns) Sporophyte dominant, gametophyte independent Club moss Horsetail Fern
26
Gymnosperms Live on land Vascular tissue Seeds in cones Sporophyte dominant, gametophyte dependent Cycad Ginkgo Gnetophyte Conifers (pine, spruce, fir, redwood, sequoia)
28
Angiosperms Most live on land (some freshwater, 7 marine) Vascular tissue Flowers Sporophyte dominant, gametophyte dependent Dicots (shrubs, oak, maple trees) Monocots (grasses, palm trees)
30
Dicot Two cotyledons in seed Branching veins in leaves Flower petals – 4 or 5 (or multiples) Vascular tissue in bundles in ring Tap root Oak, Maple, aspen trees Shrubs Most ornamental flowers
31
Monocot Single cotyledon in seed Parallel veins in leaf Flower petals – 3 (or multiples) Vascular tissue in scattered bundles Fibrous root ball Grasses Palms Lily, orchid, iris
