What is classification?
Whenever you place similar items together, you are classifying them.
Look at the images on the next page. What do they have in common? How many different ways can you divide these flying
things into groups? Choose a method to classify these objects. Start with
2 headings and then subdivide each group.

Phylogeny The evolutionary relationships between organisms. Used today to classify organisms into 6 Kingdoms:
Plantae (Plants) –complex multicellular cells, autotrophic (make own food) by photosynthesis
Animalia (Animals) – complex multicellular cells, heterotrophic (eat other organisms)
Fungi – complex multicellular cells, decomposer, ex. Mushrooms, mold, & mildew-heterotrophs
(Protistia) Protists – complex unicellular, ex. Algae, some are autotrophic and some are heterotrophic
Archaebacteria – one celled, live in extreme environments –autotrophic by chemosythesis
Eubacteria – one celled, most bacteria-some autotrophic and some heterotrophic

Domain is the largest category: Archaea, Bacteria, or Eukarya
Kingdom is the next largest category and then it gets subdivided into smaller and smaller groups.
Species is the smallest group - only organisms that are the same species and can mate & produce fertile offspring

Questions
Which two organisms on the previous slide are most closely related?
Which are more closely related, the horse and cockroach or horse and elephant?
![Page 10: How are living things classified?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56816703550346895ddb693b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Binomial NomenclatureTwo word naming system. The first word is
the genus. A genus is a group of similar species. The second word is the species.
Example: Maple trees are in the genus Acer. There are many kinds of maple trees, so they have a species name also. Acer rubrum – Red MapleAcer saccharum – Sugar Maple
![Page 11: How are living things classified?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56816703550346895ddb693b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why do we use Binomial Nomenclature?
Helps avoid mistakes. Example: Lizards
Green Iguana (Iguana Iguana)(Myska)
Desert Iguana (Disposaurus doralis)(Seaman)

• Organisms with similar evolutionary histories are classified together.– Question: Look at the names of these organisms.
Which are more closely related?• Panthera onca jaguar• Lynx rufus bobcat• Panthera tigris tiger• Puma concolor cougar

Gives descriptive information about the species.Example: Acer rubrum – Red Maple. Rubrum
is Latin for red.Allows information about organisms to be
easily organized into books, pamphlets, etc.
