Easier to Study!
Classification
The process of grouping thing based on similarities.
Taxonomy
The scientific study of how living things are classified

herbs-shrubs-trees land-air-sea

3. Binomial Nomenclature
2 Names
Genus and
Species
Scientific Name
Written in italics. First word is capitalized
and the second is not. Homo sapiens
If handwriting the scientific name: Underline to show italics.

4. Genus Species Classification grouping that contains similar,
closely related organisms
Species
Group of similar organisms
that can mate with each
other and produce offspring
that can also mate and
Reproduce.

5. Most biologists classify organisms into 8 levels. Broad to Specific
More levels share more have in common

7. number of cells in their bodies.
Domains
Archaea
Eukarya
Bacteria
Ancient
Found in Extreme Environments
Unicellular
Prokaryotes/no nucleus
Found everywhere
Autotrophs & Heterotrophs
Prokaryotes---lack nucleus
Found Everywhere
Autotrophs & Heterotrophs
Eukaryotes---Nucleus
Placed into domains and kingdoms based on cell type, ability to make food,
number of cells in their bodies.

8. Dense area in a cell that contains nucleic acids---chemical instructions that direct cell’s activities
Nucleus
Dense area in cell containing nucleic acids---Chemical instructions that directs cells activities.
Prokaryotes---cells with no nucleus
Eukaryotes---Cells with Nucleus
YOU

9. Domain Eukarya Fungi Plants Animals Protists
Eukaryotic organism---cannot be classified as animal, plant or fungus---most unicellular---few multicellular—some autotrophs other heterotrophs.
Protists
Fungi
Multicellular eukaryotes. All heterotrophs
Plants
Multicellular eukaryotes—most live on land----autotrophs---provide food for heterotrophs
Animals
Multicellular eukaryotes—live everywhere---hetertrophs
