Presentation Transcript

  1. CLASSIFICATION Organization of things/organisms into related groups based on similarities

  2. Taxonomy • Branch of Biology concerned with… • Grouping and naming of organisms according to characteristics and evolutionary history

  3. HISTORY-ARISTOTLE • First to classify organisms • Greek Philosopher • 350 B.C.

  4. Plants BY SIZE Trees Shrubs Herbs Animals BY HABITAT Water Land Air Aristotle’s Classification

  5. Carolus Linnaeus 1700’s • Swedish botanist • Parents wanted him to be a priest like father • Studied medicine and many other things • Noted for being instrumental in classifying organisms

  6. Linnaeus and Classification • Used morphology (form and structure) to group Ex- flowering plant’s reproductive systems – asexual or sexual reproduction • 2 groups - plants and animals • Used Scientific Names ( Latin) • Binomial Nomenclature: 2 name naming system • Genus and species

  7. Why Latin? • Language of educated in his day • Still use it because no longer spoken language so it will never change • No slang words • Universal understanding

  8. What is it? • Cougar, Puma, Panther, Mountain Lion, Catamount

  9. Common Name -Common Name -confusing/misleading Ex. Polecat -doesn’t show relationships -more than one name

  10. Scientific Name • Latin • Standard name • -show relationships • Ex: Felis concolorPuma concolor • Italics or underline • Genus capitalized

  11. Why Classify? • 1. Shows relationships between living and once living things • 2. Brings order to diversity • 3. Explains evolutionary patterns • 4. Gives organisms specific names • 5. Provides means to identify unknown organisms

  12. Classification Categories (taxa)7 levels of organization • Each one is smaller than the previous one (fewer types of organisms) Kingdom Phylum Class Order- Family Genus Species-single organism that can reproduce with one another Varieties -subset of species - peaches, nectarines Subvarieties-variation of a species in diff geographic areas

  13. Human Taxa • Kingdom animalia • Phylum chordata • Class mammalia • Order primate • Family hominidae • Genus Homo • Species sapiens

  14. Use of Evolution to determine Relationships • Check it out!!

  15. Phylogenic Trees • Shows evolutionary history of species • Determined by shared characteristics: structures: larval forms and embryos biochemistry: # amino acids in common behavior patterns: habitats and mating calls cell organization: prokaryote/eukaryote

  16. Problems with classifying • Many organisms have similar structure • Isolation may make organisms unique • New discoveries made constantly • Organisms may fit into more than one category • Man-made system (human error)

  17. Linking organisms together • The more categories in common the closer the relationships

  18. 6 Kingdoms Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plants Animals

  19. Key Terms • Prokaryote- unicellular, without membrane bound organelles, no true nucleus • Eukaryote-organism with membrane bound organelles • Autotroph-organism capable of making organic nutrients directly from inorganic • Hetertroph- organism that gets energy from other sources other than itself

  20. Monerans ( 5 kingdom system) Archaebacteria ( in 6 kingdom) Eubacteria ( in 6 kingdom)

  21. Archaebacteria • Unicellular, prokaryote, anaerobic, and aerobic • Adapted to extreme environments (temp, acidity, salinity) • Binary fission • Some autotrophic (chemosynthesis)

  22. Eubacteria • Unicellular, prokaryotes, anaerobic and aerobic • Binary fission • Heterotrophs , some photosynthetic or chemosynthetic • Cell walls (different from plants) • Bacteria and blue green bacteria

  23. Protista • Eukaryotes (membrane bound organelles) • Single celled and multicellular • Plant-like, fungus-like, animal-like • Lack specialized tissue • Live in moist areas • Autotrophic and heterotrophic • Some with cell walls • Sexual and asexual reproduction • Ex: amoeba, paramecium, euglena algae

  24. Fungus • Heterotrophic, unicellular (yeast) and multicellular eukaryotes • Absorbs nutrients-dead matter • Cell wall chitin • Sexual/asexual reproduction • Mostly terrestrial • Ex: mushrooms, puffballs, rusts, smuts, mildew, mold

  25. Plantae • Multicellular, autotrophic, eukaryotic • Mostly terrestrial • Specialized tissues and organs • Cell walls of cellulose • Chlorophyll in chloroplasts • Alternation of generations between diploid and haploid • Ex: moss, ferns, conifers, flowering plants

  26. Animalia • Multicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryotes • Specialized tissues, some have organs and organ systems • Nutrition by ingestion • Sexual reproduction based on meiosis • No cell walls or chloroplasts • Sensory structures or organs • Muscle systems for movement • Aquatic or terrestrial
