DEFINITION: Refers to the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities and evolutionary relationships.
5
Carolus Linnaeus… Invented “Taxonomy”
6
The science of identifying, classifying, and naming living things. Founded by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist in the 1700’s…he’s the “father of taxonomy”
7
Diversity means…
8
The diversity of LIFE on earth :
9
WHY CLASSIFY? 1. To organize the number and diversity of living things. 2. To give scientific names.
10
MODERN CLASSIFICATION INCLUDES EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS: All organisms have a family tree…it shows relationships.
11
7 LEVELS OF CLASSIFICATION: KINGS PLAY CHESS ON FINE GLASS SURFACES A pneumonic to remember the next page…
12
Levels of Classification (general to specific) KINGDOM is like the PHYLUM “ CLASS “ ORDER “ FAMILY “ GENUS “ SPECIES “

Sample of classification in 5 different organisms:

Why use scientific names?
21
NAMING NAMES! The Rules are as follows: First name is the genus and is always capitalized. ex. Tyrannosaurus Second name is the species and is always in lower case letters. ex. rex All organisms have two names: Both are underlined: Tyrannosaurus rex Words are italicized when not underlined.
22
Some examples of scientific names: Homo sapiens Canis familiarus Felis domestica Homarus americanis Quercus rubrum Lumbricus terrestris Rana pippins Felis leo Musca domestica Pan troglodytes
23
USED TO IDENTIFY UNKNOWN ORGANISMS USES PAIRS OF STATEMENTS THAT ARE “EITHER OR” TO FIND THE NAME OF SOMETHING
