Characteristics of Taxons Domains Archaea – all prokaryotic, live in extreme environments Bacteria – all prokaryotic, live everywhere else Eukarya – all eukaryotic; protists, fungi, plants, and animals

Binomial Nomenclature Organisms are assigned scientific names for consistency Rules: In Latin Two names – genus and species Genus is capitalized Species is lowercase Always underlined or in italics Example: Acer rubrum Acer sucrum
