I. Taxonomy – branch of biology that deals with classifying and naming living things
A. Aristotle – Ancient Greek Philosopher
1. Lived 2,000 years ago2. Grouped plants & animals by
structural similarities only

B. Carolus Linnaeus – founder of modern taxonomy (mid 1750’s)1. Created the taxonomic categories that go from general to very
specific:
KingdomPhylumClassOrderFamilyGenusspecies

Taxonomic categories of a plant
(Uses “division” instead of phylum)

Five Kingdom system
Linnaeus developed a 5 Kingdom system. He and other scientists recognized that organisms varied greatly ( not just Plant or Animal)
![Page 8: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What are the five Kingdoms of living things in order of simple to complex?

Monera
Bacteria and blue-green algae all prokaryotic (no nucleus)
![Page 10: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Protista
Protizoans, mostly microscopic mostly unicellular, some
multicellular all eukaryotic (complex cells)
![Page 11: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fungi Mostly multicellular, absorb
nutrients Fungus, mold, mushrooms, yeast.
![Page 12: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plantae
plants, photosynthetic, cells with a wall of cellulose
![Page 13: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Animalia
Animals as simple as a sponge, multicelluar, complex life cycles, tissue layers
![Page 14: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some scientists recently divided the Monera Kingdom into two Kingdoms:
Eubacteria (complex, recent) Archiobacteria (ancient, few
today)
![Page 15: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
II. Naming organismsA. Nomenclature – system for
naming thingsB. Binomial nomenclature – 2
word naming system to create scientific names
![Page 16: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
C. Scientific names are written in a specific way:
1. Genus species2. genus = noun species = adjective - describes
noun
3. The first letter of the genus name is always capitalized and the species name is written in all lowercase
4. The entire scientific name is always underlined or italicized
![Page 17: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5. Felis domesticus – means domesticated, or house, cat
6. Latin is the universal language for science – used in all countries around the world
7. Scientific names are better to use than common names because common names change in each region
![Page 18: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
8. Armadillidium vulgare – can also be known as pill bug, sow bug, roly poly bug, potato bug, etc…

• Examples• Common name: Domestic dog
Scientific name: Canis domesticus
![Page 20: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Common name: Timber Wolf
Scientific name: Canis lupus

Classifcation of Modern HumansHomo sapiens

III. Taxonomists use specific information to help them classify organisms.
A. Structural information – physical structure and anatomy
![Page 23: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
B. Biochemical – DNA, RNA, and protein information (genetics)
![Page 24: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
C. Cytological – similarities in cell structure
![Page 25: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
D. Embryological – patterns of embryo development
![Page 26: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
E. Behavioral – how each different species acts1. Example: crickets can be distinguished by their mating calls
ex. Cricket chirp rate indicates temperature
![Page 27: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
F. Fossil – preserved evidence provides relationships between extinct and modern species.
![Page 28: Classification Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681457b550346895db24cd1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Classification practice (pictures or shapes)
• Spread out all items so you can see all
• Choose a “Kingdom” for them.• Choose at least 2 Phyla• Subdivide the phyla in to classes• Subdivide classes into orders…. Go
as far as you can.

IV Theory of evolutionA. New species arise, or evolve,
over long periods of time from pre-existing species1. Phylogeny – evolutionary
history of a species2. Phylogenetic trees – show
relationships between organisms, help classify new
organisms

Biological Key
Tools to help identify organisms
A type of key used that has pairs ofopposing statements going form
generalto specific is called a Dichotomous
Key.
