Title: Classifying Organisms


1
Classifying Organisms
Easier to Study!
Classification
The process of grouping thing based on
similarities.
Taxonomy
The scientific study of how living things are
classified
2
Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné)
                                  
Naming Systems
Carolus Linnaeus
1707-1778 Father of Taxonomy Gave us
system we use now
Binomial Nomenclature two names
Aristotle
5AD---1st to Classify
Plants VS Animals herbs-shrubs-trees
land-air-sea
3
Binomial Nomenclature
2 Names
Genus and Species
Scientific Name
Written in italics. First word is
capitalized and the second is not. Homo
sapiens If handwriting the scientific name
Underline to show italics.
4
Genus
Classification grouping that contains similar,
closely related organisms
Species
Group of similar organisms that can mate with
each other and produce offspring that can also
mate and Reproduce.
5
Most biologists classify organisms into 8
levels.
Broad to Specific
More levels share more have in common
6
8 Classification Levels
Domain
Broad to Specific
Kingdoms
Plyla
Classes
Order
Families
Genus
Species
Daily King Phillip Called Orders For General
Spivey.
7
Domains
Eukarya
Archaea
Bacteria
Ancient Found in Extreme Environments Unicellular
Prokaryotes/no nucleus
Found everywhere Autotrophs Heterotrophs Prokary
otes---lack nucleus
Found Everywhere Autotrophs Heterotrophs Eukaryo
tes---Nucleus
Placed into domains and kingdoms based on cell
type, ability to make food, number of cells in
their bodies.
8
Dense area in a cell that contains nucleic
acids---chemical instructions that direct cells
activities
Nucleus
Dense area in cell containing nucleic
acids---Chemical instructions that directs cells
activities.
Prokaryotes---cells with no nucleus
Eukaryotes---Cells with Nucleus
YOU
9
Domain Eukarya
Eukaryotic organism---cannot be classified as
animal, plant or fungus---most unicellular---few
multicellularsome autotrophs other heterotrophs.
Protists
Fungi
Multicellular eukaryotes. All heterotrophs
Plants
Multicellular eukaryotesmost live on
land----autotrophs---provide food for heterotrophs
Animals
Multicellular eukaryoteslive everywhere---hetertr
ophs
