  1. Classification

  2. Levels of biological organisation • Cell • Tissue • Organ • Organ system • Organism • Population • Community • Ecosystem • Biosphere

  3. Karl Linnaeus collected organisms and separated them according to what looked alike. • He invented the two word system of naming things – genus (generic name) and species (specific name). • RULES - Genus always has a capital letter: Homo: and species does not: sapiens. - Written in italics or underlined - Full name the first time written then abbreviated e.g H. sapiens - If the species name is unknown it is sp or spp e.g. Homo sp.

  5. In modern system are 5 kingdoms: • Monera • Protista • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia

  6. Monera • Bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue/green algae). • Prokaryotes i.e. no nuclear membrane around the nucleus.

  7. Protista • Single-organisms (Paramecium, Amoeba, Euglena) and algae.

  8. Fungi • Moulds, yeast and mushrooms • Have no photosynthetic organs • Get food from other organisms • Food stored as glycogen not starch.

  9. Plantae • Two main phyla: - Bryophyta (mosses and liverworts) - Traceophyta (ferns, conifers, flowering plants). • Autotrophs (self feeding)

  10. Animalia • Heterotrophs (cannot make own food). • Around 10 phyla • Porifera • Coelenterata/Cnidaria • Platyhelminths • Annelida • Mollusca • Arthropoda • Echinodermata • Chordata (having a backbone / are vertebrates)

  11. Chordata - 5 classes • Mammalia • Pices (Fish) • Aves (Birds) • Reptilia • Amphibia

  12. Mammals Characteristics: • Have teeth • Have hair • Are warm blooded • Have a single jaw bone • Have inner ear bones • Produce milk for their young

  13. Mammals • They have larger brains and seem to be the most capable learners • All mammalian mothers nourish their babies with milk

  14. Fish Characteristics: • Are cold-blooded • Live in water • Usually have paired fins, gills, and scales

  15. Fish • Most fish lay large numbers of eggs, but some give live birth. • Most fish breathe by drawing water over four or five pairs of gills.

  16. Amphibians Characteristics: • Are cold-blooded • Lay their eggs in water • Lack any skin coverings such as fur, scales or feathers

  17. Amphibians • Young amphibians tend to resemble small fish. • Amphibian means "two lives," a reference to the change they go through as they  move from egg to tadpole to frog.  • Even as adults, most frogs and other  amphibians must stay close to water. 

  18. Birds Characteristics: • Warm-blooded • Have feathers • Lay eggs • Have bodies specially adapted for flight • Have a beak rather than teeth

  19. Birds • Their nearly hollow bones provide lightweight strength. • Birds now live almost everywhere on Earth.

  20. Reptiles Characteristics: • Cold-blooded • Have scales • Lay leathery eggs on land

  21. Reptiles • Although reptiles breathe through lungs, some reptiles can also absorb oxygen in water through their mouth.
