1. ClassificationClassification Modified By Ms. Hundley

2. The science of classifying organisms is called taxonomy The “father of modern taxonomy” was Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné) Organisms are grouped into “taxa” based on their similarities to each other 1707-1778

3. Old System 5 Kingdom Classification System: –Monera: all prokaryotes –Protista: single-celled eukaryotes (protists) –Fungi: multi-cellular heterotrophic sessile eukaryotes –Plantae: multi-cellular autotrophic sessile eukaryotes –Animalia: multi-cellular heterotrophic motile eukaryotes

4. 6 Kingdom Proposal Archebacter ia Eubacteria

7. New Classification Organisms are grouped into smaller and smaller groups all the way down to their species A species is the most specific grouping and includes only organisms that can interbreed with each other and produce fertile offspring

9. Ursus americanus American Black Bear

11. Often Latin names contain clues about the type of organism being described. Canis domesticus And closely related organisms are often in the same genus, also giving clues about their names Canis lupus Some names are given after the discoverer, or the discovery location, or even a Latinized descriptive term in English
