  1. Chapters 18 and 19 Classification and the Tree of Life

  2. Systematics • The scientific way of organizing and naming living things • Dichotomous keys are used for identification purposes • Based on physical traits

  3. Cladograms • Cladograms are diagrams the depict the pattern of shared characters, either derived characters or primitive characters • Primative: characteristic shared by all organisms in the cladogram (Vert. Column • Derived: trait that arose in the most recent common ancestor • Based on DNA, skeletal, and comparisons

  4. Cladograms • Clade: Consists of a single common ancestor and all the groups that descended from that ancestor • Organism A,B,C are all related because they are in the same Clade • Organisms B and C are more closely related than B and A because organisms B and C share a common trait • Node: Point where two groups branch off from each other

  5. Cladogram • Which traits does a lizard and a salamander share? • Which two organisms are most closely related? • What trait does a human have that gorilla does not?

  6. Phylogeny & Systematics • Carolus Linnaeus first to assign each species a two-part latinized name called binomial nomenclature (Genus species) • Ex: Homo sapians

  7. Phylogeny & Systematics • Phylogenetic trees show the relationship between classification and phylogeny • Year 2525 Activity

  8. Old way 5 Kingdoms – Bacteria grouped into one kingdom called Monera

  9. New way • 6 Kingdoms • Eubacteria* • Achaebacteria* • Plantae • Animalia • Fungi • Protista 3 Domains: Bacteria, Achaea, and Eukarya (Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, and Protista)

  10. Bacteria vs. Archaea • The first two of the 3 domain system • Kingdom Bacteria (Eubacteria) • Kingdom Archaeabacteria • Both are unicellular and prokaryotic

  11. Bacteria • Bacteria are classified by shape: • Spheres are cocci –us • Rods are bacilli –us • Curves or spirals are spirilli -um

  12. Eubacteria • Free living or parasitic • Unicellular • As a group they exhibit much more nutrition diversity than eukaryotes, ex: cyanobacteria

  13. Archaeabacteria • They are the oldest life-forms & remain the most numerous & widespread organisms • Unicellular or multicellular • Archaea are extremeophiles • Halophiles – salt loving • Thermophiles – hot vents • Methanogens – gassy areas

  14. The Gram Stain • Allows scientists to classify types of bacteria based on what the cell wall is made up of • Gram positive bacteria lack a cell wall and retain the stain appearing purple • Gram negative bacteria have a cell wall so do not take up the stain and appear pink

  15. Reproduction • Reproduce via binary fission or conjugation • Binary Fission = form of asexual reproduction • Conjugation = Transfer of genetic material by cell to cell contact

  16. Bacteria

  17. Bacteria • External Structures: • Capsule - the cell wall is covered in a sticky capsule, this slime layer helps to evade the immune system & adhere to surfaces

  18. Bacteria • External Structures: • Pili - used to stick to their substrate, hair-like projections, & can be used for the exchange of genetic material (sex pili)

  19. Bacteria • External Structures: • Flagella - enable bacteria to move, embedded in the cell membrane & cell wall • Other forms of motility include chemotaxis, phototaxis & magnetotaxis

  20. Bacteria • Internal Structures: • Endospores - some prokaryotes can withstand harsh conditions by remaining dormant, until conditions become favorable; just encloses the DNA

  21. Bacteria • Some bacteria cause disease, called pathogenic bacteria • They can release exotoxins or endotoxins

  22. Bacteria • Bacteria can be used as biological weapons • Ex: anthrax

  23. Bacteria • Prokaryotes help recycle chemicals, dead and decaying materials and they can help clean the environment • Examples of bioremediation: sewage treatment facilities, oil spills & toxic mine wastes

  24. Viruses • Non-living particles composed of two main parts: • They cannot move or grow, and can only reproduce inside a host cell (No Kingdom affiliation) • Why do antibiotics not work to kill a virus? • How the Flu Virus invades a cell

  25. Viruses • Human Examples: • Chickenpox • Smallpox • Rabies • AIDS • Cancers • Hepatitis • Influenza A, B & C

  26. Protists • A eukaryote that is not a fungus, plant, or animal • Very diverse! • Can be plant-like, animal-like, and fungus-like • Example: African Sleeping Sickness caused by Trypanosoma • Video

  27. Fungi • Heterotrophic eukaryotes • Feed by absorption • Can be helpful – mushroom • Can be harmful – athelete’s foot, ringworm • Video: Penicillin

  28. Plants • Eukaryotes with cell walls • Carry out photosynthesis

  29. Animals • Multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that lack a cell wall • Two groups • Invertebrates – animals without a backbone • Vertebrates – animals with a backbone • Symmetry: • None • Radial: symmetrical around a central point • Bilateral: divided along a central plant

  30. Vertebrates • Order of evolution from earliest to most recent: Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals
