Important Vocabulary
1. Taxonomy: science of classification
2. Binomial nomenclature: two name naming system
3. Prokaryotic: cells without nucleus
4. Eukaryotic: cells with a nucleus
5. Autotroph: organism capable capturing energy from
sunlight or chemicals & produces its own food
6. Heterotroph: organism that obtains its energy from
food it consumes
Vocabulary
• Unicellular –
• Invertebrate – 90% of all
organism is made of only animals lack a backboneone cell
ex’s sponges, worms,
mollusks, arthropods
(insects), echinoderms (star
fish)
• Multicellular – many
• Vertebrates – includes all
celled organism
fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds, and mammals
Finding Order in Diversity
Slide # 3
1. Why Classify?
a. To study the diversity of life
b. Taxonomy: science of classification
2. Why organisms are given scientific names-a. Common names are misleading
jellyfish
silverfish
None of these animals are fish!

Slide # 4
Why Scientists Assign Scientific Names to Organisms
Some organisms have several common names
This cat is commonly
known as:
•Florida panther
•Mountain lion
•Puma
•Cougar
Scientific name: Felis concolor
Scientific name means “coat of one color”

Aristotle: The First to Classify
1. Aristotle: 1st to classify
a. Divided organisms into 2 groups -Plant or animal
b. Divided animals into 2 groups-Blooded or bloodless
c. Grouped organisms together that were not
related
2. Aristotle’s system remained unchanged for 2,000
years!
Aristotle
Aristotle grouped jellyfish & clown
fish together because they lived in
the water. However, these
organisms are not closely related.

Linnaeus: The Father of Modern Taxonomy
1. 1732: Carolus Linnaeus developed system of
classification – binomial nomenclature
a. Two name naming system
b. Gave organisms 2 names
 Genus and species
 Genus: noun species: adjective
 Genus capitalized
 species not capitalized
 Both names are italicized or underlined
 EX: Homo sapiens: wise / thinking man
2. Each organism is given a scientific name – even
newly discovered species

Eubacteria- True Bacteria
• Unicellular- lacks internal
organelles
• Prokaryotic- small cells
• Autotroph & Heterotroph
• True Bacteria
• Decomposers- in soil and water &
Pathogens - (ex. food poisoning)
• In Domain Bacteria
• Ex. Staphylococcus,
streptococcus, tuberculosis,
pertussis, diptheria
Eubacteria & Archaebacteria
• Bacterial Cell Shapes --A bacteria is one of three
shapes: rod-shaped (bacillus), round-shaped
(coccus), and spiral-shaped (spirillum).
• Bacterial Toxins-- Bacteria can cause disease by
releasing toxins, which damage their host.
• Biowarfare-- Biowarfare is the deliberate exposure
of people to biological toxins or pathogens such as
bacteria or viruses.
• Fighting Bacteria --Bacterial disease can be
fought with soap, chemicals, and antibiotics.
• Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria-- Mutations that
allow resistance to antibiotics are strongly favored in
bacterial populations being treated with an antibiotic.
