  1. Six Kingdoms-Taxonomy S7L1b Classify organisms based on physical characteristics using a dichotomous key of the six kingdom system (archaebacteria, eubacteria, protist, fungi, plants, and animals).

  2. Current Version of the Hierarchy of Living Things • Super kingdom is the broadest category and includes the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. • Prokaryotes • microscopic unicellular organisms • few organelles • no nucleus. • Mostly photosynthesizers or decomposers • Some are pathogens • Disease-causing • Further divided into two kingdoms • Eubacteria and Archaebacteria

  3. Current Version of the Hierarchy of Living Things • Eukaryotes • Unicellular AND multicellular • Divided into four kingdoms • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia

  4. Kingdoms Divide • Kingdom • Phylum or divisions • Classes • Orders • Family • Genus • Species

  5. Current system of organization • Carl Linnaeus • Binomial nomenclature • A system of naming organisms using two-part names to label the species • Scientific name • Genus (generic) • Species (specific) • Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans.
