1
Classification and Biodiversity
2
About _1.5 million___ kinds of living organisms are known today and each year thousands more are identified. Some experts believe there are as many ___10 million_ different kinds of organisms.
3
Taxonomy: Classification and naming of living things.
4
Classification Systems:
How is a grocery store classified/ organized?
5
Early classification:
Aristotle: Classified organisms by how they moved. Fly Walk Swim Problems?
6
John Ray: First to use the term Species.
Classified based on structural similarities
7
Carolus Linnaeus: Father of modern taxonomy.
Developed naming system of “binomial nomenclature”
8
Classification Categories
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Genus: Homo Species: Sapiens
11
Naming organisms Nomenclature = naming organisms
12
Common name vs. scientific name
There may be many common names for one organism. Puma, cougar, mountain lion Only one scientific name. Felis concolor
14
Binomial Nomenclature
Hedera helix or Hedera helix Italicize or underline scientific name Hedera = genus helix = species
16
Characteristics of the 6 kingdoms
Monera = bacteria Cell type = prokaryotic Body form = mostly unicellular
17
Locomotion: some have flagella
How they get energy: Photosynthesis Absorption Chemosynthesis No nervous system Locomotion: some have flagella
18
Protista: Cell Type: Eukaryotic Body Form: Mostly unicellular
Energy: Some photosynthesis, some respiration/absorption No nervous system Locomotion: Flagella: whip like tail Cilia: tiny hairs Pseudopods: fake feet/ oozing cytoplasm
19
Fungi Cell type: Eukaryotic Body form: mostly multi-cellular
Energy from decomposition/absorption No nervous system No locomotion
20
Plantae Cell type: eukaryotic Body form: multi-cellular
Energy: photosynthesis No nervous system Little locomotion
21
Animalia Cell type: eukaryotic Body form: multi-cellular
Energy: cell respiration/ingestion Yes, have nervous system Yes, locomotion… walk, swim, fly…
22
Monera Bacteria is the common name for members of this kingdom.
Where can bacteria be found? Everywhere!
23
Bacteria shapes 1. Round (cocci) 2. Rod-shaped (bacillus) 3. Sprial
24
Two groups of bacteria 1. Archaebacteria: ancient bacteria
Adapted to unusual and/or extreme conditions, such as very hot, very salty, or no-oxygen environments. Have several different cellular chemistries from Monera 2. Eubacteria (monera): true bacteria… most bacteria are this type
25
Examples of bacteria and good things bacteria do
Watch movie
28
Animal like Protists Stentor Vorticella Paramecium Amoeba
29
Plant like protists Algae… green, red, brown Spirogyra Volvox Diatoms
Euglena
30
Fungus-like protists Slime-molds
31
Watch movie Feeding styles of protists
33
Next video Sound is only good for 5 min. Stop after that.
35
Fungi
37
Plants Bryophyta: mosses Tracheophyta: plants with vessels
