Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity Section 1: The History of Classification Section 2: Modern Classification Section 3: Domains and Kingdoms
4
Biologists use a system of classification to organize information about the diversity of living things. Aristotle developed the first widely accepted system of biological classification. (Plants vs. animal)
5
Caroleus Linnaeus’s system of classification was the first formal system of taxonomy. Linnaeus’s method of naming organisms, called binomial nomenclature, gives each species a scientific name with two parts. The first part is the genus name, and the second part is the specific epithet, or specific name, that identifies the species.
6
Biologists use scientific names for species because common names vary in their use. Organizing Life’s Diversity Ursus americanus American black bear 17.1 The History of Classification Chapter 17
7
A dichotomous key consists of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct identification of an organism Shark ws Cups lab
8
The taxonomic categories used by scientists are part of a nested-hierarchal system. Domain (fish, spiders, mushroom, cats) Kingdom (fish, spiders, cats) Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
10
Taxon (taxa) – named group of organisms Genus – group of species that share a common ancestor
11
An order contains related families. (carnivora: bear, human A class contains related orders. Mammalia: bear, human, cow A phylum or division contains related classes. Vertebrata: bear, human, fish, cow The taxon of related phyla or divisions is a kingdom. (Animalia: bear, human, spider, butterfly, fish, cow The domain is the broadest of all the taxa and contains one or more kingdoms. Example: Black Bear Eukarya: bear, human, spider, lichen, butterfly, fish, cow A family is the next higher taxon, consisting of similar, related genera. (Ursidae: polar bears, panda, black Genus: closely related species: Ursus: American Black, Sloth, Asiatic black Species: Ursus americanas: American Black Bear

13
The broadest category in the classification used by most biologists is the domain. The three domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. 1. Domain Bacteria- Eubacteria (prokaryotes) are a diverse group that can survive in many different environments. black death

15
2. Domain Archaea- are thought to be more ancient than bacteria and yet more closely related to our eukaryote ancestors. -They are called extremophiles because they can live in extreme environments. 3. Domain Eukarya- All eukaryotes are classified in Domain Eukarya. Domain Eukarya contains Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae, and Kingdom Animalia…bacteria and archaea are missing
16
Protists are eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular, colonial, or multicellular. A fungus is a unicellular or multicellular eukaryote that absorbs nutrients from organic materials in its environment.

Could you design an experiment to determine the success of antibiotics versus bacterial growth? How? Do drugs resist bacteria?drugs resist
19
A virus is a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses do not possess cells, nor are they cells, and are not considered to be living. Because they are nonliving, they usually are not placed in the biological classification system.
