Taxonomy – the science of classifying living things
Can be traced back to the 18th century Established by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist

Classification of Humans
Kingdom – Animalia Phylum – Chordota Class – Mammalia Order – Carnivora Family – Hominadae Genus – Homo Species – sapien Homo sapien Genus is capitalized Species is not capitalized
9
Kingdoms Animals Plants Fungi Protists Eubacteria Archebacteria
10
Animal Kingdom Do not make their own food Made up of many cells
divided into 2 groups: vertebrates and invertebrates
11
Make their own food by photosynthesis
Plant Kingdom Made up of many cells Make their own food by photosynthesis Have a cell wall
12
Fungi Kingdom Can be unicellular or multicellular
Reproduce through spores No chlorophyll Have cell walls Feed off of other living or dead organisms
13
Protist Kingdom Can be unicellular or multicellular
Some make their own food while others feed on other organisms
14
Bacteria Kingdom Archaebacteria Means “ancient bacteria” No nucleus
Single-celled Eubacteria Single celled Some are able to make their own food and some must find food
15
Phylum Invertebrates Arthropods Sponges Round worms Cnidarians
Echinoderms Mollusks Segmented worms Flat worms Vertebrates Birds Fish Reptiles Amphibians Mammals
16
Invertebrates – animals with no backbone
Arthropods Sponges Round worms Cnidarians Echinoderms Mollusks Flat worms Segmented worms

Sponges (Poifera)- simplest of all animals
19
Cnidarians – have tentacles around their mouths
20
Segmented Flat Round (nematodes)
Worms Segmented Flat Round (nematodes)
21
Mollusks Ribbon like tongue with thousands of tiny, sharp teeth
Protective casing Layer of mantle to house its gills
