2. Classification of biodiversity
Define taxonomy
Describe and use the binomial naming system, explain how this system was devised
Explain why it is important to be able to classify newly discovered species using the binomial system
State the three domains of classification
Identify and use the principle taxa: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
All groups with the same genus have a common evolutionary pathway (ancestral species)
Explain why some organisms have been reclassified from their original taxonomic groups
State that natural classifications allow scientist to predict the characteristics of an organism

6. Describe and use the binomial naming system, explain how this system was devised

7. Describe and use the binomial naming system, explain how this system was devised
The binomial naming system was first developed by Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778), in order to make species recognition easier.
It identify organisms using the Genus and species name and should either be underlined or written in italics

9. Why is classification important

10. Why is classification important
It helps with the identification of organisms
It allows us to study relationships between organisms
It provides information about plants and animals from specific geographical locations
It allows us to study evolutionary ancestry

12. The three domains Archaea Bacteria (Eubacteria) Eukarya
Originally considered as bacteria, however separated due having a different cell wall structure and differing metabolism
A diverse range of prokaryotes that includes extremophiles Example Aeropyrum pernix
Single celled prokaryote lacking in distinctive organelles
Example E coli
Cells with chromosomes surrounded by a nuclear membrane and possessing distinctive organelles

18. Classification of biodiversity
Define taxonomy
Describe and use the binomial naming system, explain how this system was devised
Explain why it is important to be able to classify newly discovered species using the binomial system
State the three domains of classification
Identify and use the principle taxa: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Explain why some organisms have been reclassified from their original taxonomic groups
State that natural classifications allow scientist to predict the characteristics of an organism

19. Common origins
Organisms are classified according to their similarities and therefore organisms in the same genus must have a similar evolutionary pathway

20. We get it wrong sometimes
With the increased use of DNA profiling we can now classify organisms on a cellular level. Due to this we have discovered that scientists have misclassified several organisms

25. Predicting behaviour
Once we have classified an organism we can then use it to predict the characteristics of another organism from the same genus.
For example we can predict the behavior of an extinct organism by studying the behavior and characteristics of a closely related organism.
