What does this word mean to biologists?
5
Process of grouping things based on their similarities
7
a. To organize living things into groups so that the organisms are easier to study.

Carolous (Carl) Linneaus 1707-1778 Swedish Botanist, Zoologist and Physician
13
Two word naming system developed by Carl Linneaus in the 1750’s
14
Bi- = Two -nomial = name
15
Genus
16
The first word in the scientific name.
17
Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms
18
Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers
19
Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers species
20
Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers The second word in the scientific name species
21
Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers The second word in the scientific name Describes a distinctive feature in an organism species
22
Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog, Wolf Panthera = Lions and Tigers The second word in the scientific name Describes a distinctive feature in an organism Is a group of similar organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce species

1. The complete scientific name is written in italics or is underlined!!! 2. Only the first letter of the first word in a scientific name is capitalized.

1. The complete scientific name is written in italics or is underlined!!! 2. Only the first letter of the first word in a scientific name is capitalized. 3. Scientific names use Latin because it is the only language that scientists used during that time. Homo sapiens
30
a) The more classification levels that two organisms share, the more characteristics they have in common.
31
1. Domain – highest level of organization
32
2. Kingdom
33
The Animal Kingdom

History of Classification Scientists ScientistYearAccomplishment Aristotle5 AD First classify living things: two major groups... plants and animals. Plants were separated by (structure)... herbs, shrubs, and trees Animals were grouped as to where they lived...land, sea, or air. Theophrastus Classified plants: Size and kind of stems: herbs, shrubs, and trees John Ray Identified & classified 18,000 plants. 1st to use the term species. Carolus Linnaeus 1707- 1778 Swedish naturalist the "Father of Taxonomy" Developed the system by which we name organisms today.system Antoine Laurent de Jussieu 1707- 1836 A Frenchman, who Established the major subdivisions of the plant kingdom. Georges Leoplod Cuvier 1769- 1832 A Frenchman, who established major phyla, for the animal kingdom. Ernst Haeckel 1834- 1919 German who introduced the monera (bacteria) kingdom. Herbert F. Copeland 1902- 1968 American who reclassified all the microorganisms. All the nucleated microorganisms in the Kingdom protista. Robert H. Whitaker 1924- 1980 American who founded the five kingdom system. Elevating the fungi to kingdom status
46
Organisms are placed in domains and kingdoms
47
Based on their Organisms are placed in domains and kingdoms # of cells in their bodies ability to make food types of cells
48
There are 3 Domains
50
Bacteria
51
There are 3 Domains Bacteria Archaea (ahr KEE uh)
52
There are 3 Domains Bacteria Archaea (ahr KEE uh) Eukarya (you KA ree ah)
53
a) Prokaryotes – organisms whose cells lack a nucleus
54
1) Nucleus – dense area in a cell that has chemical instructions that directs the cell’s activities
55
a) Prokaryotes – organisms whose cells lack a nucleus 1) Nucleus – dense area in a cell that has chemical instructions that directs the cell’s activities Yogurt, inside your body Autotrophs and heterotrophs
56
Archaea are relatively newly discovered organisms. Archaea are simple cells that don't have nuclei. They resemble bacteria somewhat, but are mysteriously different. Their genetic makeup is unlike that of any creature we have seen to date. Scientists don't know too much about them.

58
Archaea are thought to be among the earliest terrestrial life-forms to have evolved, survivors from a time when the environment on Earth would have been too hostile to allow anything we recognize as living organisms to develop. At the same time, the features of archaea generally resemble the features of eukaryotes and bacteria more than they do each other.
59
The study of these organisms offers new hope of finding such primitive life-forms underground on Mars and possibly even Venus, as well as in any hydrothermal regions on the large moons of the outer planets MarsVenus
60
a) unicellular organisms that live in very extreme environments
61
b) some are autotrophs – make their own food
62
a) unicellular organisms that live in very extreme environments b) some are autotrophs – make their own food c) some are hetertrophs – rely on other organisms for food
63
a) unicellular organisms that live in very extreme environments b) some are autotrophs – make their own food c) some are hetertrophs – rely on other organisms for food d) Structure and chemical makeup is different from bacteria
64
1. Eukaryotes – organisms with cells that have a nucleus
65
1. Eukaryotes – organisms with cells containing nuclei 2. Classified into one of four kingdoms Protists Fungi Plants Animals
66
1) Sometimes called the odds and ends kingdom – not classified as a fungi, plant or animal 2) Some are heterotrophs, others are autotrophs 3) Example: Paramecium or amoeba Feed on bacteria and other small cells
67
All fungi are heterotrophs Mushrooms Molds Mildew
68
Autotrophs Provide food for heterotrophs Trees Flowers Dandelions
69
All are heterotrophs Have different adaptations that allow them to: Locate food Capture it Eat it Digest it Adaptation – any characteristic an organism has that makes it able to survive in its surroundings better
