Taxonomy – the science of classifying organisms by their similarities in traits.
Carolus Linnaeus • 1758 – came up with a system of classification based on 2 kingdoms: • Animal kingdom • Plant kingdom • What discovery changed this?

Naming Organisms • Use the genus and the species name for the scientific name – binomial nomenclature (2 name naming). • Humans = Homo sapiens • Blue whale = Balaenoptera musculus • Great white shark = Carcharodon carcharias
Kingdom Monera • AKA - bacteria • Single-celled • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic or Heterotrophic • Cell wall • Asexual reproduction • May be able to move
Kingdom Protista • Eukaryotic • Single or multicellular (mostly single) • Autotrophic or heterotrophic • The protist kingdom is like a grab bag or junk drawer. • Includes amoeba, euglena, paramecium, algae, seaweed, etc.
Kingdom Fungi • Eukaryotic • Single-celled (yeasts). Most are multicellular (mushrooms on pizza) • Saprophytic (heterotrophs that absorb nutrients from dead or dying tissue) • Sexual or asexual reproduction • No fungi in the oceans – can’t take the salt
Kingdom Plantae • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Autotrophic • Cell wall • Sexual or asexual reproduction
Kingdom Animalia • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Heterotrophic • No cell wall • Usually reproduce sexually
Kingdom Monera has been split Domain Eubacteria Domain Archaebacteria
Domain Archaebacteria • “Architects of the Atmosphere” • Earliest life forms with fossil 3.5 billion years old • Autotrophic • Extreme acidophiles, halophiles, and methanogens.
Domain Eubacteria Includes all the bacteria that are not archaebacteria. Not photosynthetic – decomposers and disease-causing
Domain Eukarya • Includes the other 4 kingdoms • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia
What will be the next change(s)? • Will protists be moved into the other kingdoms? • Will viruses be considered alive and moved into their own kingdom or domain?
