1 September 21, 2017 Journal: What is the total magnification of a light microscope on high power?

2 I. Taxonomy The science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms into groups Based on common characteristics

3 II. Levels of Classification

4 A. Domain Largest level of classification
All life can be broken into groups based on the types of cells found within the organism Bacteria: Simple bacteria living in normal environments Archaea: Simple bacteria living in extreme environments Eukarya: Complex organisms

5 B. Kingdoms

6 1. Animalia Multicellular Heterotrophs – cannot make their own food

7 2. Plantae Multicellular Autotrophs – make their own food

8 3. Fungi Most are multicellular Cannot make their own food
Most are decomposers

9 4. Archaebacteria 5. Eubacteria Unicellular bacteria
Found in extreme environments 5. Eubacteria Unicellular bacteria Common

10 6. Protista Left-overs Things that are not fungi, bacteria, plants or animals

11 III. Characteristics of Life

12 III. Characteristics of Life
A. Grow and Develop

13 III. Characteristics of Life
B. Reproduce - Sexually: Two parents produce offspring - Asexually: Parent makes an exact copy of itself

14 III. Characteristics of Life
C. Metabolism - Undergo chemical processes such as making glucose into energy

15 III. Characteristics of Life
D. Movement - Have either internal or external movement

16 III. Characteristics of Life
E. Respond to the environment

17 III. Characteristics of Life
F. Undergo homeostasis a. Homeostasis means that they have the ability to have a constant internal environment Ex. Temperature

18 III. Characteristics of Life
G. Have cells

19 III. Characteristics of Life
H. Contains RNA and/or DNA
