1 Classification: A way to organize the diversity of life.
Carolus Linnaeus binomial nomenclature system Scientific names: Genus species In Latin Binomial nomenclature (bi- = 2; nomial= name) Italics; first word capitalized, second word lowercase

2 8 Taxonomic Categories Domain Dear Kingdom King Phylum Philip
Class Came Order Over Family For Genus Great Species Spaghetti

3 Human Classification Domain- Eukarya Kingdom- Animalia
Phylum- Chordata Class- Mammalia Order- Primates Family- Hominidae Genus- Homo Species- sapiens Scientific name- Homo sapiens Each organism has a unique scientific name, which includes the genus and species categories.

4 Problems with Traditional Classification
Morphology (physical characteristics) isn’t always an accurate reflection of evolutionary relationships Example- Dolphins “look” like fish, so they were classified as such for a long time. Dolphins are not fish, however. They are mammals, more closely related to whales, cows, pigs, and hippos than to fish.

5 Evolutionary Classification
No longer based solely on physical characteristics Categories better reflect evolutionary relationships DNA/RNA- mutations (molecular clocks) Appendages Conical Shells Crustaceans Gastropod Crab Barnacle Limpet Crab Barnacle Limpet Molted exoskeleton Segmentation Tiny free-swimming larva TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION CLADOGRAM

6 Three Domain System Domain Eukarya Domain Bacteria Domain Archaea
Domain is the most inclusive category (above Kingdoms) Domain Eukarya Kingdoms Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista Domain Bacteria Kingdom Eubacteria Domain Archaea Kingdom Archaebacteria

7 Textbook, page 459 Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia Eubacteria
DOMAIN BACTERIA ARCHAEA EUKARYA KINGDOM Eubacteria Archaeba cteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia CELL TYPE Prokaryote Eukaryote CELL STRUCTURE Cell walls with peptido- glycan Cell walls w/o peptido- glycan Cell walls in some, some w/ chloroplasts Cell walls of chitin Cell walls of cellulose; chloroplasts No cell walls or chloroplasts # OF CELLS Unicellular Most multi-cellular Multi-cellular MODE OF NUTRITION Auto- or hetero-troph Hetero- troph Autotroph EXAMPLES Strepto- coccus halophiles Amoeba, Paramecia Mushrooms, yeast Flowering plants Sponges, worms, mammals

8 How did complex cells evolve
How did complex cells evolve? The Endosymbiotic Theory Figure 17-12, page 427 Plants and plantlike protists Chloroplast Aerobic bacteria Ancient Prokaryotes Photosynthetic bacteria Nuclear envelope evolving Mitochondrion Primitive Photosynthetic Eukaryote Animals, fungi, and non-plantlike protists Ancient Anaerobic Prokaryote Primitive Aerobic Eukaryote

9 The Evolution of Photosynthesis
The Endosymbiotic Theory Chloroplast How did the presence of photosynthetic bacteria, and eventually plants, affect the atmosphere? Photosynthesis led to increased atmospheric oxygen levels Biological importance: evolution of cellular respiration Geological importance: caused rust to form for the first time Figure 17-12

10 Origin of Respiration The Endosymbiotic Theory Figure 17-12, page 427
How did this increase in atmospheric oxygen affect metabolism? More atmospheric oxygen allowed mitochondria to become an essential component of cells. 18 times more ATP produced with aerobic respiration, which made aerobic cells more energetically competitive in an oxygen-rich environment Mitochondria
