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

Page 3: Classification Systems

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

specific:

KingdomPhylumClassOrderFamilyGenusspecies

General

specific

Isolated to aSpecific organism

Page 6: Classification Systems

Taxonomic categories of a plant

(Uses “division” instead of phylum)

Page 7: Classification Systems

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

What are the five Kingdoms of living things in order of simple to complex?

Page 9: Classification Systems

Monera

Bacteria and blue-green algae all prokaryotic (no nucleus)

Page 10: Classification Systems

Protista

Protizoans, mostly microscopic mostly unicellular, some

multicellular all eukaryotic (complex cells)

Page 11: Classification Systems

Fungi Mostly multicellular, absorb

nutrients Fungus, mold, mushrooms, yeast.

Page 12: Classification Systems

Plantae

plants, photosynthetic, cells with a wall of cellulose

Page 13: Classification Systems

Animalia

Animals as simple as a sponge, multicelluar, complex life cycles, tissue layers

Page 14: Classification Systems

Some scientists recently divided the Monera Kingdom into two Kingdoms:

Eubacteria (complex, recent) Archiobacteria (ancient, few

today)

Page 15: Classification Systems

II. Naming organismsA. Nomenclature – system for

naming thingsB. Binomial nomenclature – 2

word naming system to create scientific names

Page 16: Classification Systems

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

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

8. Armadillidium vulgare – can also be known as pill bug, sow bug, roly poly bug, potato bug, etc…

Page 19: Classification Systems

• Examples• Common name: Domestic dog

Scientific name: Canis domesticus

Page 20: Classification Systems

Common name: Timber Wolf

Scientific name: Canis lupus

Page 21: Classification Systems

Classifcation of Modern HumansHomo sapiens

Kingdom – AnimaliaPhylum - ChordataClass – MammaliaOrder – PrimatesFamily – HominidaeGenus – HomoSpecies - sapiens

Page 22: Classification Systems

III. Taxonomists use specific information to help them classify organisms.

A. Structural information – physical structure and anatomy

Page 23: Classification Systems

B. Biochemical – DNA, RNA, and protein information (genetics)

Page 24: Classification Systems

C. Cytological – similarities in cell structure

Page 25: Classification Systems

D. Embryological – patterns of embryo development

Page 26: Classification Systems

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

F. Fossil – preserved evidence provides relationships between extinct and modern species.

Page 28: Classification Systems

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.

Page 29: Classification Systems

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.
