1
taxonomy How we classify organisms based upon structural similarities and differences
2
Carolus Linnaeus The “Father of Modern Taxonomy” Established methods for classifying and naming organisms that are still used BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE –Two name names
4
Five kingdoms system The most general classification –Monera – bacteria –Protist –Fungi –Plants –animals
5
Kingdom Monera Prokaryotic –No membrane-bound organelles –No nuclear membrane Unicellular Some are heterotrophic cyanobacteria are autotrophic because they perform photosynthesis
6
Protists Eukaryotic –Membrane-bound organelles –Nuclear membrane Mainly unicellular Some are heterotrophic and some are autotrophic
7
protozoa These do not have cell walls Examples include ameba and paramecium
10
Algae These protists have cell walls and chloroplasts These protists are autotrophic Some are multi- cellular like sea weed!
11
Blue algae
12
fungi Fungi are eukaryotic Fungi can be unicellular –Yeast and bread mold Fungi can be multicellular –mushrooms All fungi are heterotrophic
13
A fungus lives on its food source They absorb the nutrients they need from the environment Digestive enzymes are secreted into their food source for EXTRACELLULAR digestion The end products of digestion (nutrients) are absorbed
15
Plants All plants are multicellular All plants are eukaryotic All plants are autotrophic Plant cell walls are made of cellulose
16
bryophytes No true roots stems or leaves No vascular tissue to circulate food or water They are only a few centimeters in height Must live in a moist area –mosses
17
Tracheophytes True roots, stems and leaves They have vascular tissue to circulate food and water They can grow to great heights They can live in many different environments
18
Animals All animals are eukaryotic All animals are multicellular All animals are heterotrophic
19
Classification Kingdom – most general Phylum – related classes Class – related orders Order – related families Family – related genus Genus – related species Species – most specific
20
Species name Based on a system of binomial nomenclature The Latin version of the genus and species of an organism –Members of a species must be able to successfully reproduce and have fertile offspring
21
Human versus chimpanzee Human –Animalia –Chordata –Mammalia –Primates –Hominid –Homo –Homo sapien Chimpanzee –Animalia –Chordata –Mammalia –Primates –Pongid –Pan –Pan troglodyte
