Reporting Category 3 Biological Evolution and
Classification

• Classification of Organisms

Essential Question Bell Ringer

• How can a biologist tell if two organisms belong
  to the same kingdom?

Organisms that belong to the same kingdom share
structural and physiological characteristics that
enable scientists to place them in distinct
groups.

Hierarchical Classification

I need to remember..

• I need to remember . . .
• Scientists use internal and external
  characteristics to classify organisms into
  similar groups.
• Within the hierarchical classification system,
  the domain is the group that includes the
  greatest number of organisms and exhibits the
  greatest diversity of organisms.
• The species is the group that includes the fewest
  number of organisms and exhibits the least
  diversity of organisms.
• Taxonomy is a branching classification system
  that provides a standardized method for grouping
  organisms.

Post Review Question

• A team of scientists collected a unicellular,
  prokaryotic organism that lived in a volcanic hot
  spring and had lipids in its cell membrane that
  were not found in any other group of organisms.
  The scientists most likely classified the
  organism into which of the following kingdoms?
• A. Plantae
• Animalia
• Archaebacteria
• Fungi
