PLEASE DO THIS!! • Take off your left shoe and place it on my desk in the front
There are 1.5 million different identified species (alive and extinct) • How can we keep all these organisms in order?
Classification • is the method of logically grouping organisms based on some common characteristics • Taxonomy • does the actually grouping into the groups called TAXON (s – TAXA) with some kind of biological significance. • EX: Things that fly, swim, walk, have feathers, etc.
How many different terms can you think of for trying to tell someone something is really good? WRITE ‘EM DOWN!Do these words have more than one meaning? YES!
There is a need for a common term to describe an individual organism so that all people understand when the term is used. • Carolus Linnaeus came up with the system ofBinomial Nomenclature.
Carolus Linnaeus • He assigned two Latin names to each different species of organisms. • This is their Scientific name. • Homo sapiens (human) Homo sapiens Ursusmaritimus (polar bear) Ursusmaritimus Alba rubrum (red oak) Ursusarctos (grizzly bear)
How to write the name • Genus name first • Always CAPITALIZED • Species name second • Never capitalized • Can either be… • Italicized • Underlined
Cur Latin? • Scientific names will always be in Latin. • Latin is a dead language that will not evolve unlike other languages. • Little chance of change through time. • Universally understood in the science community

Modern methods of classification rely on evolutionary relationships in place of homologous structures. • Birds, bats and insects should not be classified together because they all have wings and fly. Analogous structures are MISLEADING!
Evolutionary classification classifies organisms in taxa based on lines of common descent, not physical similarities • Uses proteins, DNA and genes to determine classification and relatedness • Human Genome project that decoded our DNA helped to show evolutionary relationships with other species, even totally unrelated species. Think back to the evidence of evolution activity • The more closely related organisms are, the more Amino acids they will have in common and the more recently they evolved from some kind of common ancestry.
Kingdoms and Domains • 1700’s – Plants and Animals only • Is this right? • 1800’s – Protists, Plants and Animals • Is this right? • 1950’s – 5 Kingdom system, including Fungus and Monera • Are we close now? • Now – 6 Kingdoms divided into 3 Domains • This has to be it, yes?
Domain Bacteria • Characteristics of the Domain • Unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Cell walls? • IF so, material? _______________________ • Kingdom: Eubacteria • true bacteria • The “normal” bacteria you think of
Domain Archaea • Characteristics of the Domain • Unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Cell walls? • IF so, material? _______________________ • Kingdom: Archaebacteria • Ancient bacteria • Live in areas with no oxygen, super hot temperatures, and high amounts of salt/acid
Domain Eukarya • Characteristics of the Domain • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Broken into 4 kingdoms • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia
Domain Eukarya • Kingdom Protista • Unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Autotroph, heterotroph, or both? • IF heterotroph, absorptive or ingestive? • Cell walls? • IF so, material? _______________________ • Examples: amoeba, paramecium, volvox
Domain Eukarya • Kingdom Fungi • Unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Autotroph, heterotroph, or both? • IF heterotroph, absorptive or ingestive? • Cell walls? • IF so, material? _______________________ • Examples: mushrooms, yeast, mold
Domain Eukarya • Kingdom Plantae • Unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Autotroph, heterotroph, or both? • IF heterotroph, absorptive or ingestive? • Cell walls? • IF so, material? _______________________ • Examples: mosses, conifers, flowers
Domain Eukarya • Kingdom Animalia • Unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Prokaryotic or eukaryotic? • Autotroph, heterotroph, or both? • IF heterotroph, absorptive or ingestive? • Cell walls? • IF so, material? _______________________ • Examples: sponges, insects, cats, humans
