Relationships Among Organisms

2. Classification and Taxonomy Essential Question
How can a biologist tell if two organisms belong to the same kingdom?
Organisms that belong to the same kingdom share structural and physiological characteristics that enable scientists to place then in distinct groups

3. 1. Domains & Kingdoms
The domain is a the largest, most inclusive category than any other — larger than a kingdom.
3 Domains ; 6 Kingdoms
Eukaryota
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria

6. Check Answer:
7. Did using only pictures of the organisms make it difficult to determine which kingdom the organisms belonged to?
Yes
using only pictures of the organisms means you can’t move an organism around and examine different parts of it more closely,
and its internal features cannot be examined and compared with other body parts.

7. 8. Discuss why an organism was placed in certain Kingdom?

Archaebacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia

Prokaryotic

8. 9. Check your Hierarchical Classification System
Check with students

9. Let’s Review - Classification Vocabulary
Taxonomy-science that deals with the naming and classifying organisms
Binomial nomenclature -classification system in which each species is assigned a two part naming system
Genus-group of closely related species
Family- groups of closely related genus
Order- group of closely related families
Class- group of closely related orders
Phylum- groups of closely related classes
Kingdom- groups of closely related phylum; 6 kingdoms
Kingdom is the most inclusive category, and species in least inclusive
King Philip Came Over For Good Soup
Panthera tigris

10. Why is it important to scientists to have a standardized classification system?
Having a standardized classification system means that all scientists follow the same system.
This brings clarity to the study of organisms by ensuring that scientists in different parts of the world don’t end up giving different names to the same organism.

11. I need to remember . . .
Scientists use internal and external characteristics to classify organisms into similar groups.
Within the hierarchical classification system, the domain is the group that includes the greatest number of organisms and exhibits the greatest diversity of organisms.
The species is the group that includes the fewest number of organisms and exhibits the least diversity of organisms.
Taxonomy is a branching classification system that provides a standardized method for grouping organisms.

individual species
groups of organisms of a similar species in
the same area
groups of populations that live together in a defined area
group of communities includes all biotic and abiotic factors
