T2 – Prokaryotic vs. EukaryoticT3 – Kingdom Characteristics Biology 11 October 2013
Kingdom Monera Unicellular Prokaryotic may be photosynthetic, chemosynthetic, or feed by absorption.
Kingdom Protista Most are unicellular Eukaryotic may be photosynthetic, may feed by absorption, or may ingest food.
Kingdom Fungi Most multicellular although some are unicellular. Eukaryotic cell structure Cell Wall Present Absorptive Heterotrophs Non Motile
Kindom Plantae Multicellular Eukaryotic Photosynthetic Non Motile
Kingdom Animalia Multicellular Eukaryotic Ingestive Heterotrophs Motile Nervous system present
Classification Categories Within any Kingdom there are many levels of classification.
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Within any kingdom there are many phylum Within any phylum there are several classes Within any Class there are several Orders Within any order there are several Families Within any Family there are several Genus Within a Genus there may be many species
Species Concept Species- a population of organisms that share characteristics and can breed with one another to produce viable offspring (offspring can continue to have their own offspring) Eg. A maple tree and a cow could not interbreed = different species A collie and a husky dog could have offspring = same species
Humans Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia Order Primates Family Hominidae Genus Homo Species Sapien
Domestic Dog Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia Order Carnivora Family Canidae Genus Canis Species familaris
Naming Organisms In addition to classifying organisms, taxonomists also name each type of living organism. Naming is also called Nomenclature
Binomial Nomenclature “Two names” Taxonomists name organisms by stating the organisms genus followed by a given species name.
Binomial Nomenclature: Scientific name • Genus and species • Needs to be italicized or underlined • First letter of the genus name is capitalized • First letter of the species name is lowercase • Example: • Ocypodequadrataor Ocypodequadrata • Genus name can be used alone, but not species name
Common names can cause confusion • StarFish - not a fish • Oreasterreticulatus(cushioned star) • What we may know as the green pepper is also referred to as a bell pepper, or sweet pepper. • Capsicum annuum
Common names also vary from language to language Dog - perro - inu .
Benefit of Universal Naming A universal system of naming allows us to avoid the confusion associated with common names, and tells us something about evolutionary relationships.
