TAXONOMY

Taxonomy Taxonomy: The discipline of classifying organisms and assigning each organism a universally accepted (scientific name)

What is this animal called? Cougar Mountain Lion Puma Panther Wait. . . So what do we call it? !

Assigning Scientific Names To eliminate the confusion of common names, 18 th century scientists developed a system to name all organisms in Latin. Binomial Nomenclature: Each species is assigned a two-part scientific name EX: Felis concolor

Scientific Names Written in italics The first word is capitalized It is the organism’s genus Genus: A group of closely related species The second word is lowercased It is the organism’s species Written in Latin

Answer this question in your notes: What is the difference, if any, between these three organisms: Ursus arctos Ursus maritimus Ailuropoda melanoleuca

Here’s a Hint:

Linnaeus’s System of Classification Includes seven levels, from largest to smallest: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Modern Classification Linnaeus used to group organisms only by their physical characteristics. Using only physical characteristics, how would you classify these organisms?

Modern Classification Now, we use a 3 domain system because of vast differences in different types of bacteria. Current classification system: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

How Living Things are Categorized All living things are categorized into 3 domains

6 Kingdoms 3 Domains are further divided into 6 Kingdoms Domain Archaea: Kingdom Archaebacteria Domain Bacteria: Kingdom Eubacteria Domain Eukarya: Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Animalia

Kingdom Characteristics Chart: Glue the chart you were given into your INB. You can look over this information while we go through the rest of the powerpoint. Kingdom Cell Type Cell Structures Number of Cells Mode of Nutrition Examples Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

Kingdom Archaebacteria • Cell Type: Prokaryote (no nucleus) • Cell Structures: Have unusual cell wall components • Number of cells: Unicellular • Mode of Nutrition: Autotroph or heterotroph • Examples: Methanogens, halophiles

Kingdom Eubacteria Cell Type: Prokaryote Cell Structures: No nucleus, normal sugars in walls Number of Cells: Unicellular Mode of Nutrition: Autotroph or Heterotroph Examples: E. coli, Streptococcus

Kingdom Protista Cell Type: Eukaryote (has a nucleus) Cell Structures: Some have cell walls of cellulose, some have chloroplasts Number of cells: Unicellular or multicellular Mode of Nutrition: Autotroph or heterotroph Examples: Amoeba, Paramecium, giant kelp, diatoms

Kingdom Fungi Cell Type: Eukaryote Cell Structures: Cell Wall of Chitin Number of Cells: Multicellular, some unicellular Mode of Nutrition: Heterotroph Examples: Mushrooms, yeasts

Kingdom Plantae Cell Type: Eukaryote Cell Structures: Cell walls of cellulose, chloroplasts Number of cells: Multicellular Mode of Nutrition: Autotroph Examples: Mosses, ferns, trees and flowering plants

Kingdom Animalia Cell Type: Eukaryote Cell Structures: No cell walls or chloroplasts Number of cells: Multicellular Mode of Nutrition: Heterotroph Examples: Sponges, worms, insects, fish, mammals
