10. Classification

11. Finding Order in Diversity

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

13. Warm Up
Why do we classify?
What is taxonomy?

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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)

17. 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

19. Species Genus Family Organisms that look alike
Successfully reproduce among themselves
Genus
Group of closely related species
Family
Group of closely related genera

20. Order Class Phylum/Divisions Kingdom Group of related families
Group of related orders
Phylum/Divisions
Group of related classes
Kingdom
Group of related phyla

21. Essential Questions What are the rules of Binomial Nomenclature?
What are the three domains?
Why are common names confusing?

22. Essential Questions What is a species?
What is the broadest classification in Linneaus’s system?
What is the acronym for the system?

24. Vocabulary
Dichotomous Key

25. 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

27. Essential Questions What are the three domains?
What class do we belong to?
What information can you get from Homo sapien?

28. Modern Evolutionary Classification

29. Vocabulary
Phylogeny
Cladogram

30. Evolutionary Classification
Phylogeny
The evolutionary relationship among organisms
Cladogram
A diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms

31. Phylogeny

32. Cladogram

33. 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?

34. Kingdoms and Domains

35. Vocab.
Domain
Eukarya
Bacteria
Archaea

36. The Tree of Life Evolves
The six-kingdom system of classification includes the kingdoms Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

37. 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)

38. Essential Questions
What are two differences between plants and animals?
How does fungi get its nutrients?
What does non-motile mean?

39. Warm Up What is an ecological footprint?
What happened during the industrial revolution?
Give an example of mutualism.

40. 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

41. 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

42. Domain Eukarya Consist of all organisms that have a nucleus
Organized into 4 kingdoms
Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

43. Protista Members display the greatest variety
Most are unicellular but some are multicellular
Either autotroph or heterotroph
Examples:
Amoeba, paramecium, giant kelp

45. 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

47. 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

49. 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
