1 Classification of Life

2 Learning Objectives Describe how living things are organized for study
Explain binomial nomenclature

3 Species of Organisms There are over 13 billion known species of organisms living today.

4 Taxonomy aka Classification
Arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities

5 Classification Groups
Broadest Most Specific Taxon - A category into which related organisms are placed

6 Confusion in the Languages

7 Latin Names Latin names are understood by all taxonomists

8 Binomial Nomenclature
Human: Homo sapien Wolf: Canus lupus A two word naming system: Genus and species

9 Standardized Naming Capitalize Genus but not species Italicize both
Turdus migratorius Capitalize Genus but not species Italicize both American Robin

10 Which two are more closely related?
Polar bear and Grizzly bear
