Taxonomy Topic 3
2
Taxonomy- organizing organisms into groups based on similarities
Also called Classification
3
Why classify? Many different languages around the world By creating a set system of naming, everyone will understand which organism is being referred to. Usually Latin (sometimes Greek)
6
Who? Carolus Linnaeus “Father of Taxonomy”
Classified organisms based on structure Developed the system of Binomial Nomenclature 2 name system
7
Binomial Nomenclature
Always italicized when typed, underlined when hand written First name CAPITALIZED- Genus Second name lower case- species Example: Ursa maritimus = Polar Bear
8
Species belonging to the same Genus are close relatives
Lepidochelys olivacea Chelonia mydas Lepidochelys kempii
9
→ → Hierarchy of Taxonomy Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family
BROADEST TAXON Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species → Most Specific

3 Domains Archaea & Eubacteria Eukarya
Unicellular prokaryotes (no nucleus, no membrane bound organelles) Eukarya Eukaryotes (nucleus & organelles) May be unicellular or multicelluar
12
Eukarya All organisms have nucleus and internal organelles.
This domain is separated into Four Kingdoms
13
4 Kingdoms of Eukarya Protista (protozoans, algae)
Fungi (mushrooms, yeasts) Plantae (multicellular plants) Animalia (multicellular animals)
14
Protista Mainly Unicellular
Some are autotrophic, while others are heterotrophic Aquatic
15
Protozoa: Heterotrophic Protists
Examples include: ameba and paramecium Algae: Autotrophic Protists Example: sea weed
16
Fungi All are heterotrophic They are decomposers Absorb nutrients Can be unicellular (yeast and bread mold) Can be multicellular (mushrooms)
17
Plantae All are multicellular Autotrophic
Examples: mosses, grasses, flowers, trees
18
Animalia All are eukaryotic Multicellular Heterotrophic

Basis for Modern Taxonomy
Homologous structures (same structure, different function) Similar embryo development Molecular Similarity in DNA, RNA, or amino acid sequence of Proteins
21
Homologous Structures (BONES in the FORELIMBS) shows Similarities in mammals.
