1. Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms

2. Basic characteristics of living things Cells Metabolism Homeostasis Heredity Evolution Reproduction

3. History of Taxonomy Aristotle was one of the first to tackle scientific classification –Grouped organisms together by similar structures

4. History Continued Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) –“father of taxonomy” –Pioneer for modern classification of plants and animals

5. Linnaeus’ Innovations System was set up as a pyramid –Largest, most general relationships first, then more specific Binomial system –Name has two parts (ex. Canis familiris) –Latin word roots

10. Domains Bacteria- prokaryote Archaea- prokaryote, different RNA and memebranes than Bacteria Eukarya- eukaryote –Further broken down into 4 kingdoms.

11. Domain ARCHAEA: prokaryotic, with no membrane bound organelles (Extremophiles) Salt loving, nuclear- waste bacteria

12. Domain –BACTERIA: prokaryotic, with no membrane bound organelles (Bacteria) E. coli

13. Domain Eukarya Kingdom: –PROTISTA- unicellular (colonial unicellular) and eukaryotic, possess membrane bound organelles (Paramecium, Algae) Malaria

14. Domain Eukarya Kingdom: –FUNGI-non-motile multicellular heterotrophs- CANNOT photsynthesize (Mold, Mushrooms, Yeasts)

15. Domain Eukarya Kingdom: –PLANTAE- multicellular non-motile eukaryotes that perform photosynthesis

16. Domain Eukarya Kingdom: –ANIMALIA- multicellular and eukaryotic, distinct nucleus, heterotrophs, motile

17. Current Method of Classification The system set up by Linnaeus is still used System is now roughly based on evolutionary concepts and biological characteristics

18. What’s my name? On your paper, write down the name of this organism
