  1. CLASSIFYING LIVING THINGS AGRISCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Modified by Georgia Agricultural Education Curriculum Office July, 2002

  2. TAXONOMY • Taxonomy is the classification of living things • Names are in Latin • Organism has a two-part scientific name

  3. STAGES IN THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM • KINGDOM • PHYLUM OR DIVISION • CLASS • ORDER • FAMILY • GENUS • SPECIES

  4. WHY USE SCIENTIFIC NAMES? • PEOPLE IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD USE THE SAME NAME FOR AN ORGANISM • RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ORGANISMS ARE EVIDENT IN THEIR NAMES • DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ORGANISMS ARE OBVIOUS FROM THEIR NAMES

  5. THE FIVE KINGDOMS • MONERA : One celled organisms • PROTISTA : One-celled or form collection of cells that may look like plants. • FUNGI : Tiny yeasts to large mushrooms • PLANTAE : Includes over 350,000 plants that provide food, fiber and shelter. • ANIMALIA : Includes over million kinds of animals from spiders to chickens.

  6. FOUR PHYLA OF MONERANS • Phylum : SCHIZOPHYTA - Bacteria • Phylum : ARCHAEBACTERIA - Primitive organisms that live in harsh climates. • Phylum : CYANOPHYTA - Blue-green bacteria that grows in ponds and streams • Phylum : PROCHLOROPHYTA - Organisms that live in marine environments

  7. WAYS THAT BACTERIA ARE USED • DECAY AGENT- Decaying plants/animals • FOOD PRODUCTION- Cheese/yogurt • MEDICINE PRODUCTION- Antibiotics • FOOD SOURCE- Food for shrimp/oysters • CLEAN WATER- Filters ammonia • PROVIDE NUTRIENTS- Converts nitrogen from the air into a form plants use

  8. PHYLUMS OF PROTISTA • Phylum : Sarcodina - Includes amebas • Phylum : Ciliophora - Have cilia that help them move about; paramecium • Phylum : Zoomastigina - Have long whip-like structure which they use to move about. • Phylum : Sporozoa - Carried in the bodies of host animals. Coccidiosis in poultry is an example

  9. PHYLUM OF PROTISTA (CONT) • Phylum : Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Chrysophyta and Pyrrophyta - This is the five phylums of algae.

  10. WAYS PROTISTS EFFECT LIFE ON EARTH • CAUSE DISEASE • USE IN POLISH OR GRIND STONES • FOOD • ADD OXYGEN TO WATER

  11. FOUR PHYLA OF FUNGI • Zygomycota : Black bread mold • Ascomycota : Includes yeasts, truffles and pennicillium (used to make penicillin) • Basidiomycota : Includes mushrooms • Deuteromycota : Imperfect fungi which cause ring-worm

  12. WAYS FUNGI AFFECTS LIVING THINGS • Cause food spoilage • Make food products better • Provides a food source • Provide medicine • Cause plant disease • Damage property • Cause disease

  13. EIGHT PHYLA OF THE PLANTAE KINGDOM • Phylum : Bryophyta - Mosses and liverworts • Phylum : Lycophyta - Club mosses • Phylum : Spenophyta - Horsetails • Phylum : Pterophyta - Ferns • Phylum : Coniferophyta - Trees or shrubs that bear cones (everygreens)

  14. PLANTAE KINGDOMCONT. • Phylum : Cycadophyta - Palm-like plants that grow in tropical areas. • Phylum : Ginkgophyta - Ginko plants • Phylum : Anthophyta - Includes all of the flowering plants: dicots - fruits, flowers, trees and vegetables • monocots - onions, corn, wheat, oats, and sorghum

  15. WAYS PLANTS ARE USED • FOOD • CLOTHING • SHELTER • PAPER

  16. 14 PHYLA OF THE ANIMALIA KINGDOM • Phylum : Porifera - Sponges that grow in the sea. • Phylum : Cnidarea - Jellyfish, coral and other sea animals. • Phylum : Plathelminthes - Flatworms • Phylum : Nematoda - Roundworms • Phylum : Rotifera - Tiny round or worm-like animals

  17. ANIMALIA KINGDOMCONT. • Phylum : Bryozoa - Animals that resemble moss but aren’t plants. • Phylum : Brachiopoda - Lampshells • Phylum : Phoronida - Tube worms • Phylum : Annelida - These are the segmented worms; such as earthworms and leeches.

  18. ANIMALIA KINGDOMCONT. • Phylum: Mollusca - Soft-bodied animals without segments. Examples are oyster, clam, slugs and squid. • Phylum: Arthropoda - Bodies divided into segments and hard outer body covers. Examples include lobsters, shrimp, crawfish, insects, mites and ticks. • Phylum: Echinodermata- Starfish ,etc.

  19. LAST OF ANIMALIA KINGDOM • Phylum: Hemichordata - Acorn worms. • Phylum: Chordata - Vertebrates animals with internal skeletons and backbones. Examples include horses, pigs, cattle, sheep, birds and most fish.

  20. WAYS ANIMALS ARE USED • Food • Clothing • Medicine • Power
