2 CLASSIFICATION OF LIFE
Terms To Know Prokaryote: Simple cells that have no nucleus Eukaryote: Complex cells, with a nucleus and many organelles Unicellular: Organisms made of one cell Multicellular: Organisms made of two or more cells Autotroph: Producers who make their own food Heterotroph: Consumers who get energy from other sources besides themselves

3 3 Domains, 6 Kingdoms

4 Taxonomy: The science of identifying and classifying into related groups Taxon: a group

5 Taxa Did king Philip come over for grape soda?

6

7 Binomial Nomenclature
A two-word scientific name assigned to every species Assigned by the Genus species Examples: Homo sapiens Acer rubrum Panthera tigris Genus is always capitalized, species is lower case Acer rubrum: red maple Panthera tigris: tiger

8 3 Domains, 6 Kingdoms

9 Bacteria All of the unicellular prokaryotes
Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic Examples: Streptococcus, E-Coli, Cyanobacteria

10 Eubacteria vs. Archaebacteria (2 separate domains and kingdoms)
Contain most types of bacteria Found in nearly all conditions Archaebacteria Found in unusual conditions: volcanic vents and hot springs Have unusual lipids in their cell membranes

11 E-Coli (Eubacteria)

12 Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep Throat) Eubacteria

13 Kingdom Protista Typically unicellular
Many of the exceptions to the rules You’ll know it’s a Protista if it doesn’t fit any other category  Cell walls in some, some have chloroplasts Most unicellular, some multi-cellular Autotroph or heterotroph

14 Amoeba

15 Paramecium

16 Slime Molds

17 Kingdom Fungi Heterotrophs with cell walls
Most are multi-cellular (mushrooms) but some are unicellular (yeast)

18 Mushrooms

19 Club Fungi

20 Kingdom Plantae Multicellular autotrophs with cell walls

21 Mosses

22 Ferns

23 Flowering Plants

24 Trees

25 Kingdom Animalia Multicellular heterotrophs with no cell walls

26 Coral

27 Insects

28 Fish

29 Birds

30 Amphibians and Reptiles

31 Mammals

32 Viruses Viruses are not listed because viruses are not living!
Viruses are a piece of DNA or RNA contained by protein; they are not cells. Viruses require a cell from one of the kingdoms above to reproduce.

33 Representing Evolutionary Relationships:
Phylogenetic Tree: Scientific tree showing evolutionary history - shows relationships thought to exist between groups or organisms

34

35 Representing Evolutionary Relationships:
Cladogram: Uses shared derived traits Derived traits indicate divergence from a common ancestor
