 Why do you think scientists classify things into groups?  So they can identify them and know what they are talking about!  How many levels of classification are there?  EIGHT LEVELS  What is Taxonomy?  The science of describing, naming, and classifying living things.

 All animals  Animals with a backbone

 Nurse their young  Animals with a backbone  Nurse their young  Teeth for tearing meat

 Backbone  Nurse their young  Teeth for tearing meat  Medium build, long snout Includes domestic and wild dogs, wolves, and jackals

What is it? Canis familiaris Scientific name - Genus followed by the species or specific name. (Italicized and only the Genus name is capital)

 Canis latrans Canis latrans coyote or prairie wolf  Canis lupus Canis lupus gray wolf  Canis mesomelas Canis mesomelas jackal

 All organisms use a two part name made up of their Genus followed by the Species or specific name. Examples: Elephas maximus Felis catus Panthera tigris

The 6 Kingdoms 1. Eubacteria -new bacteria A. Prokaryotes (no nucleus) B. cell walls C. unicellular (one-celled) D. Autotroph or HeterotrophE. E. Examples- Streptococcus, Escherichia coli Description: A-D

2. Kingdom Archaebacteria-old “extreme” bacteria A.Prokaryotes B.Cell walls w/o peptidoglycan C.Unicellular D.Autotroph or heterotroph E.Examples- Methanogens-love methane Halophiles- love salt Description: A-D

3. Kingdom Protista (Protists) A. Eukaryotic** B. Some have cell walls of cellulose & chloroplasts C. Unicellular or Multicellular** D. Autotroph or heterotroph (plant like, animal like, fungus like) E. Examples-Ameoba, Kelp, Slime Mold Called the “junk drawer kingdom”

4. Kingdom Fungi A. Eukaryote B. cell walls of chitin C. Multicellular D. heterotroph absorbs nutrients from environment/decaying organisms E. Examples- mushroom, yeast Over 100,00 species!

Fungi

5.Kingdom Plantae (Plants) A. Eukaryotes B. cells walls of cellulose, chloroplasts C. multicellular** D. Autotroph-**Photosynthesis E. Examples- mosses, ferns, flowering plants

6. Kingdom Animalia (Animals) A. Eukaryote B. no cell walls or chloroplasts/have cell membrane C. Multicellular D. Heterotroph E. Examples- Sponges, worms, insects, fishes, mammals
