Classification • Grouping things according to similar characteristics, and separating them from others by differing characteristics • The science of classifying living things is taxonomy

Used to classify organisms: • • • Cells and their organelles Growth and development

Used to classify organisms: • • • Cells and their organelles Growth and development Blood chemistry DNA Energetics Body structures/organs

Early Systems of Classification • Aristotle – for animals 2000 years ago • Theophrastus

Early Systems of Classification • Aristotle – for animals 2000 years ago • Theophrastus – for plants 2000 years ago • Linnaeus (Karl von Linne) – all organisms in the 1700’s • Linnaeus is known as the “father of modern taxonomy”

Classification Levels • All organisms are placed in one of 5 kingdoms • Kingdoms are divided into several phyla (phylum) or divisions • Phyla are subdivided into classes • Classes are divided into several orders • Order contain several families • Each family has several genera (genus) • Each genus is made up of related species
