5. Today’s Objectives
I can categorize organisms into the classification system by their similarities and differences.
I will determine the characteristics of organisms and use them to separate them.

6. Key Terms Multicellular: two or more cells Unicellular: single cell
Prokaryote: no nucleus
Eukaryote: nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
Autotrophic: make its own food
Heterotrophic: gets energy and nutrients from the food it consumes

7. Why do we need a system to classify things?

8. There are about 8.7 million species (eukaryotes) estimated around the world currently (2014)
That is a new, estimated total number of species on Earth -- the most precise calculation ever offered -- with 6.5 million species found on land and 2.2 million (about 25 percent of the total) dwelling in the ocean depths.

9. So how do we classify these organisms?
How would you sort these organisms?

10. What is Taxonomy & why is it important?
A system that classifies, identifies and names different types of organisms.
It eliminates confusion caused by name differences.
It reveals evolutionary relationships among organisms. (who is related to who)

12. What is the name of this animal?
All of the above…these are common names for the same animal.
Puma
Cougar
Mountain lion
Panther

13. What is Taxonomy & why is it important?
Based on likeness in structure
Ranks organisms from the broadest, most general group to the smallest, most specific group.

14. Domain is the most broad/general taxonomic group!

15. The Tree of Life - 3 Domains
Today, we have 3 Domains:
Bacteria = all bacteria in the kingdom Eubacteria, unicellular, members are Prokaryotes
Archaebacteria = includes the kingdom Archaebacteria
Eukarya = protists, fungi, plants and animals

17. Seven levels of classification
Domain - largest group w/few traits in common
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species - smallest, most specific group w/many traits in common.

18. Seven levels of classification
Different Down
Uniform Up

19. Did (Domain) King (Kingdom) Popeye (Phylum) Come (Class) Over (Order)
What’s this rubbish about adding new Domains to this system??
Did (Domain)
King (Kingdom)
Popeye (Phylum)
Come (Class)
Over (Order)
For (Family)
Good (Genus)
Spinach (Species)

20. Classification Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778)
Swedish Biologist who was the founder of the science of taxonomy.

21. Binomial Nomenclature
Developed by Linnaeus
TWO (2) PART NAME MADE UP OF GENUS & SPECIES:
Written in Latin because used by all countries, reduces translation issues/confusion
Genus is CAPITALIZED
ex.: Canis
Species is lower case
ex.: lupus
Both Genus and species are
underlined or italicized

22. Binomial Nomenclature
Canis lupus or Canis lupus = Wolf
Homo sapiens or Homo sapiens = Human

23. Identify the correct scientific name for Lion
Panthera leo
Panthera Leo

24. Identify the correct scientific name for Kangaroo
macropus giganteus
Macropus giganteus

25. Identify the correct scientific name for Bat
Desmodus rotundus
Desmodus Rotundus

26. What is the most GENERAL taxonomic group?
Domain
Kingdom
Genus
Species

27. What is the most SPECIFIC taxonomic group?
Domain
Kingdom
Genus
Species

28. What phylum do humans belong to?
Eukarya
Animalia
Chordata
Mammalia

29. Two organisms in the same ORDER can be classified into different:
Families
Kingdoms
Classes
Phylum

30. At what taxonomic level do humans and fruit flies diverge?
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class

31. The organisms Glyphis gangeticus and Glyphis glyphis do not belong to the same:
Kindgom
Class
Genus
Species

Give students time to analyze this chart before advancing to show the questions. Ask them to notice what taxonomic levels are shared between all three organisms. Then proceed to having them answer the questions.
At what classification level do cats and wolves diverge (become different)?
Which 2 animals are most closely related?
Family
Cat and wolf

33. Which organism is most similar to the sandhill crane, Grus canadensis?
Branta canadensis
Falcipennis canadensis
Grus americana
Recurvirostra americana
