1. CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISMS

2. taxonomy Taxonomy- describing, classifying, and naming living things
ORGANISMS ARE CLASSIFIED BASED ON SHARED CHARACTERISTICS

3. How does the number of organisms in each level change as you move closer to the species level?

4. Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

Don’t Keep Piranhas Captive Or Fingers Will Get Swallowed.

5. Domains
Three domains are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya

6. Domain: Bacteria
Only one kingdom, eubacteria
Prokaryotic
Have a cell wall but no nucleus or other organelles

7. Domain: Archaea Only one kingdom, archaebacteria Prkaryotic
Similar to bacteria but have different genes that allow them to survive in harsh/extreme environments

8. Domain: eukarya
Kingdoms: Protista, fungi, plantae, Animalia
All eukaryotic

9. Protista Most unicellular but can be multicellular
Can be producers or consumers
Simple cell structure

10. fungi Have cell walls Decomposers Can be unicellular or multicellular
More complex cell structure

11. Complex cell structure
plantae
Cell wall
Photosynthesis
Multicellular
Complex cell structure

12. Animalia No cell wall Consumers Need oxygen Multicellular
Complex cell structure

13. Choose an organism and use the 8 levels of classification to describe your organism.
