1 Binomial Nomenclature

2 Rules for Naming Organisms
All names must be approved by International Naming Congresses (International Zoological Congress) This prevents duplicated names

3 Organizing Organisms There is a hierarchy of groups (taxa) from most general to most specific Domain, Kingdom, Phylum*, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species, subspecies *Division is used instead of Phylum when talking about plants

6 Domains Broadest, most generalized group Three domains
1. Archaea and 2. Eubacteria are unicellular prokaryotes (no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles) 3. Eukarya are more complex and have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (eukaryotic cells)

7 Domain Archaea Domain Archaea has one Kingdom: Archeabacteria
Archeabacteria live in harsh environments and may represent the first cells to have evolved. Sewage treatment plants, thermal vents, etc.

8 Domain Eubacteria Domain Eubacteria has one Kingdom:Bacteria, some of which cause human diseases, are present in almost all habitats on earth. Many bacteria are important environmentally and commercially.

9 Domain Eukarya Domain Eukarya is the largest domain
It is split into 4 Kingdoms: Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Animalia

10 Kingdom:Protista Most are unicellular Some are multicellular
Some are autotrophic, while others are heterotrophic

11 Kingdom: Fungi Multicellular, except yeast
Absorptive heterotrophs (digest food outside their body & then absorb it)
