DOMAIN KINGDOM PHYLUM CLASS ORDER FAMILY GENUS SPECIES Classification Levels
2
BUDDING - asexual
3
CONJUGATION - sexual
4
Classification levels – 3 Domains/6 Kingdoms Domain: Archaea Kingdom: Archaebacteria - prokaryotes; unicellular with a cell wall - can be autotrophs or heterotrophs - most live in extreme/hostile environments; open ocean - reproduce asexually (binary fission) or sexually (conjugation) *binary fission = cell divides *conjugation = transfer of DNA through a tube
5
Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Eubacteria -prokaryotes; unicellular with a cell wall - can be autotrophs or heterotrophs - some bacteria cause disease; many are beneficial - live almost everywhere - reproduce asexually (binary fission) or sexually (conjugation)
6
Classification levels – 3 Domains/6 Kingdoms Domain Eukarya Kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
7
The Six Kingdoms
8
The Six Kingdoms: Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protist Fungi Plant Animal
9
How are organisms placed into their kingdoms? Cell type, complex or simple Their ability to make food or not The number of cells in their body
10
Cell wall No cell wall Prokaryote-cells do not have a nucleus Eukaryote-cells contain nucleus Heterotroph-organism cannot make its own food Autotroph-organism can make its own food Multicellular-organism contains more than one cell Unicellular-organism is made of only one cell 5 t h i n g s w e n e e d t o k n o w t o c l a s s i f y a n o r g a n i s m i n t o k i n g d o m s
11
Eukaryote Some have no cell walls. Cell walls; some have chloroplast Most unicellular; some multicellular Autotroph or heterotroph “Junk-drawer kingdom”; live in water or damp environments Reproduce asexually(fission,budding) or sexually(conjugation)
12
Eukaryote Cell walls Most multicellular;some unicellular Heterotroph Water or damp environments Reproduce asexually(budding) or sexually(spores)
13
. Eukaryote Cell walls Multicellular Autotroph live in water and on land reproduce asexually(plantlets;runners) and sexually (pollination)
14
Eukaryote No cell walls Multicellular Heterotroph live in water and on land reproduce asexually(budding) but mostly sexually(egg/sperm)
15
Why and how do scientists classify organisms? to make sense and order of the millions of living things on Earth; to make organisms easier to study!! groups organisms based on characteristics they share “taxonomy” – the science of classifying and naming a scientific name consists of a “Genus” name followed by the “species” name common name:scientific name: cat ------------------------Felis domesticus asian elephant-------------Elephas maximus T-rex-----------------------Tyrannosaurus rex
16
“dichotomus keys” – a tool/ special guide using paired statements to help identify an organism; means divided into 2 parts example: 1. a. This mammal flies; hand forms wing little brown bat b. this mammal does not flygo to step 2 2. a. this mammal has no hair on its tailgo to step 3 b. this mammal has hair on its tail go to step 4 (and so on and so on………)
17
a growing system……….. new organisms are STILL being discovered and classified today!
