Classification

Finding Order in Diversity

Vocabulary Taxonomy Phylum Binomial Nomenclature Taxon Kingdom Species Genus Family Order Class

Warm Up Why do we classify? What is taxonomy?

Why Classify? Use to name organisms and group

them in a logical manner. Taxonomy

– The branch of biology concerned with the grouping and naming of organisms

Assigning Scientific Names

Why common names are confusing.– Felis concolor has 4 common names

Mountain lion, a puma, a cougar, or a panther

– A common name can refer to 2 different species: example is buzzard – in the UK it refers to a hawk and in most of the US it refers to a vulture

Binomial nomenclature– Developed by Linnaeus– Two-word system to name organisms– Are always in Latin and Must be italicized

or underlined – The first word (genus) is capitalized but

the second word (descriptive term) is lowercase

Turdus migratorius (American Robin)

Linnaeus’s System of Classification

Taxon – each level within a naming system.(commonly memorized from largest to smallest)

King Philip Came Over For Granny’s Spaghetti

Species– Organisms that look alike– Successfully reproduce among

themselves Genus

– Group of closely related species Family

– Group of closely related genera

Order– Group of related families

Class– Group of related orders

Phylum/Divisions– Group of related classes

Kingdom– Group of related phyla

Essential Questions

What are the rules of Binomial Nomenclature?

What are the three domains? Why are common names

confusing?

Essential Questions

What is a species? What is the broadest classification in

Linneaus’s system? What is the acronym for the system?

VocabularyDichotomous Key

Dichotomous Key Is a set of paired statements that can

be used to identify organisms You choose one statement from each

pair that best describes the organism At the end you will identify the name or

what group the organism belongs to

Essential Questions

What are the three domains? What class do we belong to? What information can you get

from Homo sapien?

Modern Evolutionary Classification

Vocabulary Phylogeny Cladogram

Evolutionary Classification

Phylogeny– The evolutionary relationship among

organisms Cladogram

– A diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms

Phylogeny

Cladogram

Essention Questions What is a cladogram used for? If animals are in the same class, what

other groups do they belong to? What is a phylogeny?

Kingdoms and Domains

Vocab. Domain Eukarya Bacteria Archaea

The Tree of Life Evolves The six-kingdom system of

classification includes the kingdoms Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

The Three-Domain System

Domain – a more inclusive category than any other – larger than a kingdom

The 3 domains are:– Eukarya (include protists, fungi, plants,

and animals)– Bacteria (corresponds to Eubacteria)– Archaea (corresponds to Archaebacteria)

Essential Questions

What are two differences between plants and animals?

How does fungi get its nutrients? What does non-motile mean?

Warm Up What is an ecological footprint? What happened during the industrial

revolution? Give an example of mutualism.

Domain Bacteria Corresponds to the kingdom Eubacteria Contains all unicellular, prokaryotic cells Have thick, rigid cell walls Either heterotroph or autotroph Some need oxygen while others are killed

by oxygen Example: Strepococcus, Escherichia coli

Domain Archaea Corresponds to kingdom Archaebacteria Contain all prokaryotic cells Live in some of the most extreme

environments– Volcanic hot springs, brine pools, black organic

mud devoid of oxygen Most can survive only in the absence of

oxygen Examples: Methanogens, halophiles

Domain Eukarya Consist of all organisms that have a

nucleus Organized into 4 kingdoms

– Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

Protista– Members display the greatest variety– Most are unicellular but some are

multicellular– Either autotroph or heterotroph– Examples:

Amoeba, paramecium, giant kelp

Fungi

– A unicellular or multicellular heterotrophic eukaryote

– Absorbs nutrients obtained by decomposing dead organisms and wastes in the environment

– Examples: Mushrooms, which are multicellular Yeasts, which are unicellular

Plantae– Multicellular organisms that are

photosynthetic autotrophs– Nonmotile – cannot move from place to

place– Contain cell walls– Includes cone-bearing and flowering

plants, as well as mosses and ferns

Animalia– Multicellular consumers that eat and

digest other organisms for food– Animal cells have no cell wall– Most are motile for at least some part of

their life cycle– Incredible amount of diversity

Sponges, worms, insects, fish, mammals

– Many exist in nearly every part of the planet
