What is the advantage of grouping food this way?
Classification What is the advantage of grouping food this way?
4
Classification Grouping of objects or information based on similarities and for practical purposes Plants were organized either poisonous or edible Organizing kitchen Library- card catalogue or computer Medicine- pharmacist Grocery store
5
Taxonomy Science of classification and naming of organism
Aristotle- early taxonomist 1st method of taxonomy Two major groups- plants and animals Plants-herbs, trees, shrubs Animals-land, sea, air Problems: Only 500 species used-artificial 5-6 million species (1.5 million named) Didn’t know how they related to each other- characteristics
6
Classification Goal –natural classification system Natural- evolutionary characteristics Look at the properties of characteristics of organisms and organize with these in mind Nomenclature- process of naming objects
7
Carlos Linnaeus Developed method of taxonomy used today
Characteristics chosen reflect evolutionary relationship between species Species known by 2 names Genus-grouping of similar species and species name; group of like kind of animals/plants Binomial nomenclature- 2 name system Homo sapiens- modern human Genus name- always capitalized Species name always lower case
8
Taxonomic categories
9
Taxonomic examples Different species Learning categories
10
Criteria determining classification
Similarities in structure/internal & external development Chemistry makeup Behavior Evolutionary relationships/phylogeny- evolutionary history of species
11
Kingdom Monera or Eubacteria
Single celled No membrane bound organelles (nucleus) Prokaryotic Make or absorb food Found in extreme environments; salt lakes, swamps, deep-ocean hydrothermal vents True bacteria Cell wall Peptidoglycan
12
Kingdom Archaea Single celled Prokaryotic Make or absorb food
Ancient bacteria DNA Similar to Eukaryotic Cell wall Pseudopeptidoglycan or protein only
13
Kingdom Monera - Eubacteria and Achbaecteria
14
Kingdom Protista Unicellular and multicellular
Some plant, animal and fungus-like Lack complex organ systems and live in moist environments Eukaryotic organisms- has membrane bound organelles and nuclei Examples-euglena, paramecium, amoeba, slim molds
15
Kingdom Protista Examples example
16
Kingdom fungi Earth’s decomposers Multicelluar and unicellular Consumers with no mobility Decompose waste & dead organisms to get nutrients by absorption More than 100,000 species named
17
Kingdom fungi example
18
Kingdom Plantae (plants)
Produce O2 and use CO2 Stationary, multicellular, use photosynthesis to make food 500,000 species identified Cell wall (cellulose)
19
Kingdom Plantae (plants)
20
Kingdom Animilia (animals)
Cells have no cells walls Able to move and tissues organized into organs and organ systems 750,000 + identified Heterotrophic
21
Kingdom Animalia ( animals)
22
Terminology Classification Taxonomy Systematics Phylogeny
Assigning organisms to different catagories based on their relationship Taxonomy The science of naming organisms Systematics Determining evolutionary relationships of organisms Phylogeny Evolutionary history
23
Constructing a cladogram
24
Cladogram Evolutionary relationship of a group of organisms
Each clad (group) share something in common Ancestral traits are the oldest Derived traits evolved later
25
Cladogram for Transportation
Wheels are the most ancestral Wings are the most derived
26
Cladogram example Example one Example two
27
Construct a Cladogram Organisms to use Organisms to use
28
Animals for cladogram Gorilla characteristics Four limbs Fur Lost tail
29
Animal for cladogram Tiger characteristics Four limbs Fur Tail
30
Animal for cladogram Lizard characteristics Four limbs Tail
31
Animal for cladogram Fish characteristics Tail
32
Four limbs Fur Lost tail Animal for cladogram Chimpanzee
characteristics Four limbs Fur Lost tail
33
Clad With Fur
34
Clad With No Tail
35
Characteristics for Constructing Cladogram
Tail is the most ancestral Four limbs is the oldest derived trait Fur is a later derived trait Loss of tail is the most derived trait
36
Gorilla Chimpanzee Tiger Lizard Fish Tail Lost Fur Four Limbs
37
Gorilla Tail? How do we know the gorilla lost its tail?
38

39
Synapomorphy A derived character shared by two or more groups.
Fur is a synapomorphy for the various groups of mammals. Synapomorphies are used to determine evolutionary relationships
40
Phylogenetic Tree Shows evolutionary relationships
More historical than cladogram
41
Echinodermata Uniramia Chelicerata Chordata Crustacea Protochordates
Lophophorates Crustacea Protochordates Arthropoda Annelida Hemichordata Mollusca Other pseudocoelomates Nemertea Platyhelminthes Nematoda Ctenophora Cnidaria Mesozoa Placozoa Sarcomastigophora Ciliophora Porifera Apicomplexa Microspora Myxozoa

49
Synapomorphies Birds Mammals Reptile Feathers Amphibian Fur Fish
Four Limbs Amniotic Egg Endothermic Fur Feathers Vertebrae Synapomorphies Four limbs for amphibians, reptiles, birds & mammals Amniotic egg for reptiles, birds & mammals
50
Symplesiomorphy Character shared by a number of groups
Inherited from ancestors older than the last common ancestor. Symplesiomorphies are not helpful in determining evolutionary relationships
51
Symplesiomorphies Birds Mammals Reptile Feathers Amphibian Fur Fish
Four Limbs Amniotic Egg Endothermic Fur Feathers Vertebrae Symplesiomorphies Vertebrae for amphibians, reptiles, birds & mammals Four limbs for reptiles, birds & mammals
52
Monophyletic A group of all the descendants of a common ancestor
The common ancestor is in the group Example: Mammalia Ancestor was a mammal like reptile
53
Polyphyletic A group that has some similarities
Common ancestor is in not in the group Not all descendants are included Example: Flying vertebrates
54
Paraphyletic A group of descendants of a common ancestor
Common ancestor is in the group Not all descendants are included Example: Reptiles Does not include birds and mammals

Characteristics of Life
Homeostasis: Internal regulation of the environment to maintain a constant, balanced state. Organization: Being structurally composed of one or more cells- The Basic Units of Life- without cells, living organisms would not be able to carry out the basic processes essential for sustaining life. Metabolism: Transformation of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components and decomposing organic matter. Growth: Cells help organism increase in size.
61
characteristics of life
Adaptation: Ability to change over time in response to the environment. Fundamental to the process of evolution and is determined by the organism’s genetics, diet, external factors. Response to stimuli: Organism must be able to respond to external/internal stimuli. Reproduction: Ability to produce new individual organisms. Asexual or sexual reproduction.
