1
Classification 8a Define taxonomy and recognize the importance of a standardized taxonomic system 8b Categorize organisms using a hierarchical classification system based on similarities and differences shared among groups 8c Compare characteristics of taxonomic groups including archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals

What’s my name? Mountain lion Cougar Puma Panther Catamount
3
Taxonomy the naming, describing, and classifying organisms based on characteristics
4
Carolus Linnaeus Father of taxonomy
5
Binomial Nomenclature
formal system of naming organisms by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin
6
Scientific Names The first word is the organism’s Genus (closely related species) The second word is the organism’s species Genus species
7
Homo sapiens
8
Felis concolor
9
Liquidambar styraciflua
10
Canis lupus
11
Linnaeus’s System of Classification:
Flowchart Linnaeus’s System of Classification: General to Specific Section 18-1 Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
14
Why classify? To group organisms according to similarities
To name organisms in a way that all scientists across the world can communicate (to get around language barriers)
15
But scientific names can change…
With new discoveries, we can re-classify organisms “Chinese tallow tree” changed from Sapium sebiferum toTriadica sebifera
16
Modern Evolutionary Classification
The old Linnaeus way of using visible physical similarities puts organisms that are very different in the same groups. So, now organisms are grouped according to characteristics that show common ancestry. Phylogeny – the study of evolutionary relationships among organisms. All members of a genus share a recent common ancestor.
17
Example: Barnacles and Limpets
18
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON VISIBLE SIMILARITIES
Traditional Classification Versus Cladogram pg. 452 Appendages Conical Shells Crustaceans Gastropod Crab Barnacle Limpet Crab Barnacle Limpet Molted exoskeleton Segmentation Tiny free-swimming larva CLASSIFICATION BASED ON VISIBLE SIMILARITIES CLADOGRAM
19
Example: Barnacles and Limpets
Adult barnacles look and act like limpets. Limpets have similar insides to a snail and don’t shed their shells like a snail – mollusks. Barnacles have similar anatomy and development to crabs – crustaceans. So, barnacles are grouped with crabs and limpets are grouped with snails.
21
Cladogram diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among organisms
22
The closer together in a relational “line” the organisms are, the more closely they are related (the more recent their common ancestor) The more similar the DNA the more recently they shared a common ancestor and the more closely they are related.
23
Derived Character trait that is shared by organisms with a recent common ancestor
24
Clade Group consisting of its ancestor and all its descendants

Dichotomous Key Series of ordered steps you follow to ID an organism
To use, you read both options, decide which variation is best, and move on to the next step.
31
Review Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote
32
Review Unicelluar vs. Multicellular
33
Review Autotroph vs. Heterotroph
35
3 Domains Recently, new discoveries at the molecular level of organisms have caused a new way to categorize: domains. Eukarya – protists, fungi, plants, and animals Bacteria – same as eubacteria Archaea – same as archaebacteria
36
The 6 Kingdoms Eubacteria – normal bacteria (strep, E. coli)
Archaebacteria – bacteria that live in extreme conditions and are usually anaerobic (hot springs, black mud, etc.) Protista – most microorganisms (one or only few cells) Fungi – mushrooms, yeasts, mold Plantae – plants Animalia - animals
37
Eubacteria Common term: bacteria Cell type: prokaryote
# of cells: unicellular Cell walls: present; with peptidoglycan Type of nutrition: autotroph or heterotroph
38
Eubacteria Examples E. coli Streptococcus
39
Archaebacteria Common term: none, this is a rare type of organism that lives in extreme places like hot springs Cell type: prokaryote # of cells: unicellular Cell walls: present; without peptidoglycan Type of nutrition: autotroph or heterotroph
40
Archaebacteria Examples Halobacterum (loves salt)
Thermoproteus (likes hot water)
41
Protista Common terms: protists or single-celled organisms
Cell type: eukaryote # of cells: most unicellular; some colonial; some multicellular Cell walls: some have cellulose cell walls and chloroplasts Type of nutrition: autotroph or heterotroph
42
Protista Poorly classified group (basically, if an organsisms doesn’t fit anywhere else, they put it here Examples Amoeba Paramecium Algae
43
Fungi Common term: fungus Cell type: eukaryote
# of cells: most multicellular; some unicellular Cell walls: present; made of chitin Type of nutrition: heterotroph
44
Fungi Examples Mushrooms Yeast Mold
45
Plantae Common term: plant Cell type: eukaryote
# of cells: multicellular Cell walls: present; made of cellulose; chloroplasts present Type of nutrition: autotroph (use photosynthesis)
46
Plantae Examples Mosses Ferns Pine trees Flowering plants Grass
48
Animalia Common term: animal Cell type: eukaryote
# of cells: multicellular Cell walls: no cell wall or chloroplasts Type of nutrition: heterotroph
49
Animalia Examples Sponge Insects Spiders Fish Birds Reptiles Mammals
