2. CLASSIFICATION & 6 KINGDOM NOTES
Taxonomy-the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics
Classification-the action or process of classifying something according to shared qualities or characteristics.

3. Why classify organisms?
To organize the diversity of life
To help us know what we are talking about
Ex. Brown animal – beaver or bison?

4. In order to work well, a classification system must be established and logical
Furthermore, classification rules must have real biological meaning, so that you can identify an organism in the field
Don’t use: tall, colors, big, small
Do use: greater than 2 meters in height, large eyes compared to head size, tail longer than body

5. The Swedish biologist Carl von Linne developed the classification system we currently use today. He later changed his name to match his system and is now known as Carolus Linneaus.
His classification system consists of 7 levels; they are:
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species

6. Classification System
Hint Levels Example Broadest
King Kingdom Animalia
Phillip Phylum Chordata
Came Class Mammalia
Over Order Carnivora
For Family Canidae
Green Genus Canus
Soup species familiaris Most specific

7. In this classification system, each organism has a two-part scientific name; this system of naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature
In particular, organisms must have a universally accepted name

8. We use Latin to name organisms, why?
1. It is a dead, unchanging language
2. There is no competition among countries

9. Every scientific name has 3 parts:
1. The entire name is italicized or underlined
2. The name is made up of the Genus and species names of the organism
3. The first word is capitalized and the second is lowercase.
Examples: Homo sapiens, Canus familiaris, Equus caballus

10. Definitions A prokaryote (P) does not have a nucleus
A eukaryote (E) does have a nucleus
An autotroph can make its own food
A heterotroph cannot make its own food

12. THE 6 KINGDOMS

13. Archaebacteria (P) Domain: Archaea Cell type: Prokaryotic
Structures: Ribosomes, cell wall
Unicellular
Ex: Methanogens & Halophiles

14. Eubacteria (P) Domain: Bacteria Cell type: Prokaryotic
Structures: Ribosomes, cell wall
Unicellular
Nutrition: Autotrophic or heterotrophic
Ex: Common bacteria (staph, strep)

15. Protista (E) Domain: Eukarya Cell type: Eukaryotic Unicellular
Nutrition:
Autotroph or Heterotroph
Ex: Ameba, Euglena, Paramecium

16. Fungi (E) Eukaryotic Nucleus, mitochondria, cell wall of chitin
Heterotroph
Mold, Yeast, Ringworm, Mushrooms

17. Plantae (E) Eukaryotic Multicellular Autotrophic
Mosses, Ferns, Grass, Trees, Flowering plants

18. Animalia (E) Eukaryotic Nucleus, mitochondria, lysosome Multicellular
Heterotrophic
Snakes, Worms, Dogs, Sponges, Insects, Humans
