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

13

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
