1 Classification What does classification mean?
What do we know about it? How is it done? What are the “6 Kingdoms of Life”?

2 Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family - Genus - Species

3 Carl Linnaeus = Swedish (born 1701 – died 1778)
Binomial Nomenclature = A two name naming system Changed the way scientists name and classify organisms

4 Kingdom KING Phylum PHILIP Class CAME Order OVER Family FROM
- Genus GREAT - Species SPAIN

5 Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Primates
Family = Hominidae - Genus = Homo - Species = sapiens

6 Classification System
6 Kingdoms Classification System

7 Unicellular organisms Live in extreme environments No true nucleus
Archaebacteria Unicellular organisms Live in extreme environments No true nucleus

8 Thermophilic (heat loving) Archaebacteria Strain at hot springs in Yellowstone Park

9 Archaebacteria clustered around this deep sea volcanic vent, where there is complete darkness, no oxygen, superheated water, and a chemical soup of dissolving minerals.

10 Methanogens inside a rumen, are responsible for producing methane in the gut of livestock

11 Eubacteria Unicellular organisms
Usually inhabiting environments easily studied No true nucleus

12 Lactobacillus helps to digest diary in the human gut
Lactobacillus helps to digest diary in the human gut. It is also used for the production of yogurt, cheese, chocolate, kimchi, and other foods.

13 Leprosy

14 Actinomyces - Plaque

15 Protista Most are unicellular; few are multicellular organisms
Without specialized tissue

16 Plasmodium falciparum, protozoan parasite which causes Malaria

17 Trypanosoma brucei causes African Sleeping Disease

18 Diatoms, a type of algae and the most common type of phytoplankton

19 Fungi Unicellular and multicellular organisms
Cannot make their own food Absorb and digest material they grow on

20 Yeast Microscopic pictures of one species of yeast
Dry, active yeast used for baking

21 Molds Rots food Used to make cheeses

22 Mushrooms Some good for eating Some for medicinal purposes
Some have no stalks… they look completely different! Some are toxic

23 Multicellular organisms Use photosynthesis to make food
Plants Multicellular organisms Use photosynthesis to make food

24 Moss

25 Ferns

26 Conifers

27 Flowering Plants

28 Animals Multicellular organisms Cannot make their own food
Can move during part or all of their lives

29 Invertebrates: Sponges
Vase Sponge Tube Sponge Natural Sponge that we use Red Tree Sponge

30 Jelly Fish Cnidarians Sea Anemone Sea Cucumber

31 Mollusks Snails Muscles Hermit Crab Octopus Starfish
White Nudebranch laying eggs

32 Largest phylum in the Animal Kingdom
Insects Arthropods Largest phylum in the Animal Kingdom Crustacean Arachnids

33 Vertebrates Fish

34 Amphibians

35 Reptiles

36 Birds

37 Mammals
