What do you know about scientific classification?

Click on the correct answer on each slide.

Scientists classify all living things into 5 different groups.

• Monerans (Always 1 celled and do not have a cell nuclei)

• Protista (Most 1 celled and do have a cell nuclei)

• Fungi (Many celled, absorb their food from others)

• Plantae (Many celled, make their own food)

• Animalae (Many celled, feed on living or once living things.

The 5 Kingdoms

Bonus Question: Why are the names of the kingdoms spelled “funny”?

Bonus Answer: Because they are in Latin, a language everyone could read when scientific classification was first organized.

Examples:

Monerans: Plague bacteria Protista: paramecium

Fungi: Star shaped Penicillin MoldPlantae: Buckthorn Cactus

Animalae: Ewe and Lamb

Bonus Question: Which of these kingdoms contains organisms that are parasites?

Some Common Examples of Each Group

MoneransInfected cut:

Staph Bacteria

Diarrhea: Salmonella

Bad breath: Mouth

Pink Eye: Staph

Methane Gas:

Protista amoeba algae diatoms paramecium plankton

Fungi mushrooms puff ball mold mildew penicillin yeast blue cheese

Plantae grass tomato peach oak tree moss sea weed fern

Animalae Snake Lobster Human Snail Frog Cat Opossum

Bonus Question Answer: Monerans, Protista, Fungi. Plantae and Animalae all contain many parasitic organisms. Parasites live in a host organism damaging it in some way.

Check the classification examples

• I can cause bad smells and make you sick

• I can also make corn into gas for your car and rubber

• I have just 1 cell

• I do not have a nucleus

Test Yourself: What kingdom am I?

Bacteria Colonies Growing in Agar Culture before

Pasteurization.

RIGHT!

If there is no nucleus in the cell, it must be part of the Monerans kingdom.

• I have many cells

• My cells have strong rigid walls

• I use chloroplasts to turn sunlight into food for my self.

protista animalae plantae fungi

Check the classification examples

RIGHT!• Plants have a rigid cell wall since they do not have a skeleton.

• Plants manufacture energy from the sun using the chloroplasts in their cells.

• Plants have many cells.

More About Classification

• Each group is divided into smaller groups with similar characteristics.

• Phylums are groups of organisms

with similar basic body types. • Organisms within the same species are so similar they can produce offspring together.

Bonus Question: Where does the name “Chordata” come from?

Test Yourself: if my name is -Chordata (backbone) Mammalia (warm blooded) Primate Hominid (two legs) Homo Sapiens (intelligent)

Which picture is probably me?

Bonus Question Answer: From the word cord as in spinal cord.

RIGHT!

Humans

have backbones,

are warmblooded,

are two legged, and

are intelligent

WRONG!

Remember in scientific classification, the scientific name describes the organism.

Test Yourself: my scientific name is -Animalia (Animal) Invertebrata (no backbone) Arthropoda (Joint Footed) Insecta (six legs) Hymenoptera (Membrane Wing) Diptera Formicidae Myrmex

Which picture describes me?

RIGHT!

• Ants have 6 legs and have segmented bodies• Ants have no backbone. Their skeleton is their external shell• Ants develop membraned wings for mating in the spring• Ants smell like formic acid and so are named Formicidae

WRONG!

Remember: a scientific name describes the organism.

Snakes have NO legs, not six.

Try the question again!

WRONG!

Remember: a scientific name describes the organism. A tree would not be in the animal kingdom, it would be in the plant kingdom.

Try the question again!

Test Yourself: In this picture -

Animalia (Animal) Invertebrata (No Backbone) Mollusca (Shell)Gastropoda (Stomach Foot) Stylommatophora

Would be the scientific name for Uncle Sam

Would be the scientific name for the snail.

RIGHT!

• Snails’ stomachs open into their foot.• Snails are protected by an external shell and have no skeleton or backbone.

WRONG!

Remember scientific names describe the organism.• Uncle Sam does not have a shell• Uncle Sam does not eat through his feet!
