Examine the evolutionary basis of modern classification systems.
1 Classification of Living Organisims Classification is the grouping of objects based on similarities. Examine the evolutionary basis of modern classification systems. (six kingdoms)
2
2 Classification Classification is an important process in understanding how organisms are related and how they are different. Taxonomy is the branch of biology that studies the grouping and naming of organisms.

Aristotle Ancient Greece— 3
Aristotle (384 BC to 322 BC) was the first to use a classification system. classified living things into two categories: plants and animals. Plants -shrubs, herbs, or trees. Animals -according to where they lived. His classification system was based on structural differences that were seen.
4
classification on characteristics of organisms that were similar.
4 Carolus Linnaeus ( ) Swedish Botantist Considered to be the Father of modern Taxonomy based his classification on characteristics of organisms that were similar. Developed the two word system used to identify species: binomial nomenclature.
5
5 Linnaeus used Latin for the Names of his categories, because this was the language of educated people and not likely to change whereas an everyday language is likely to change. Clip on next slide
6
Binomial nomenclature
6 Binomial nomenclature Because scientists speak many different languages and common names for organisms may vary from place to place, a universal system for naming organisms is used. The scientific name of an organism is based on a two-word system called binomial nomenclature.
7
Quercus alba: is the name for white oak (alba is Latin for “white”)
7 Quercus alba: is the name for white oak (alba is Latin for “white”) Quercus rubra: is the name for the red oak (rubra is Latin for “red”) Micropterus salmoides is the name for a largemouth bass
8
Binomial nomenclature
8 Binomial nomenclature The two words, genus and species, are always italicized (or underlined). The first word in a scientific name, genus, is always capitalized and the second word, species, is never capitalized. For example the scientific name of the largemouth bass would be Micropterus salmoides (or Micropterus salmoides).
9
9 In addition to (1) appearance and (2)behavior, (3) molecular structure (e.g., DNA) and(4) evolutionary relationships are also considered when classifying organisms. Organisms that share more similarities are more closely related and are grouped together.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE LARGEMOUTH BASS
13 CLASSIFICATION OF THE LARGEMOUTH BASS Domain Eukarya Kingdom Animalia (multicellular organisms that eat food) Phylum Chordata (animals with a backbone) Class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) Order Perciformes (perch-like fishes) Family Centrarchida (sunfishes) Genus Micropterus (types of bass) Species salmoides (largemouth bass) Largemouth Bass: Micropterus salmoides

15 KINGDOMS OF LIFE
16
Six Kingdoms of Life 16 Plantae Protista Animalia Fungi EuBacteria
Archae-bacteria Fungi
17
Three Domains and Six Kingdoms:
17 Three Domains and Six Kingdoms: Three Domains: Bacteria- Unicellular and prokaryotic. Autotrophic and Heterotrophic. Cell walls have peptidoglycan. Kingdoms: Eubacteria Archaea- Unicellular and prokaryotic. Cell walls do not have peptidoglycan. Kingdoms: Archaebacteria Eukarya- Eukaryotic. Kingdoms: Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia.
18
Bacteria Protista Fungi
18 Bacteria Protista Fungi Eubacteria (true bacteria) and Archaebacteria contain prokaryotes, cells without membrane-bound organelles. Microscopic & unicellular. Archaebacteria are mainly found in extreme environments like the deep oceans, hot springs, and swamps. Heterotropic and autotrophic unicellular and multicellular organisms with a variety of characteristics eukaryotic organisms that lack complex organ systems and live in moist environments. Heterotropic and autotrophic consumers that stay put. unicellular or multicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes that absorb nutrients from dead and decaying matter by decomposing dead organisms and wastes in the environment.
19
Multicellular eukaryotes that photosynthesize.
19 Plantae Animalia Multicellular eukaryotes that photosynthesize. Most have cellulose cell walls and tissues that have been organized into organs and organ systems. Autotrophic-some parasitic. Multicellular consumers-heterotrophic Cells do not have cell walls. Their tissues have been organized into complex organ systems; the nervous system, muscle system and digestive system, as well as others.

A tool to identify organisms is called a dichotomous key.
22 A tool to identify organisms is called a dichotomous key. It is made from pairs of contrasting characteristics (e.g., has wings/does not have wings).

25 In 1988, the tiger swallowtail, Papilio glaucus, was proclaimed Georgia’s state butterfly. The tiger swallowtail shares the most characteristics with members of which taxonomic level? A class B family C order D phylum
