Grouping Organisms
And Classification
Age of Life on Earth
• 3.5 billion years ago
(prokaryotes came first)
• 1.5 million species have been
named by classification system
called taxonomy (to name and
group organisms in a logical
manner)
Taxonomy
• Discipline where
scientists classify
organisms and
assign them a
scientific name
Domains
3 largest
classification
groups
Archaea
Eubacteria
Eukarya
THREE Domains
…Kingdoms
Eubacteria
Archaea
Prokaryotic (no true nucleus)
(true bacteria) (extreme
bacteria)
Eukarya
(true nucleus)
(protists
fungi
plants
animals)

LINNAEAN CLASSIFICATION OF HUMANS
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: sapiens
This is the one
organism you
need to
memorize.
Ever hear of E. coli?
• It is the
abbreviated
form of the
scientific
name of
Escherichia
coli
T. rex.
• Tyrannosaurus rex
• Often lazy
scientists just
abbreviate the
Genus with just a
letter.
binomial nomenclature
• is the two part name of
organisms.
two terms: the genus
name and the species
• Example:
Common name = sugar pine
Scientific name = Pinus lambertiana
• ponderosa pine: Pinus ponderosa
lodgepole pine: Pinus contorta
Some Unusual Names
• Calponea harrisonfordi (spider) Named
after Harrison Ford in appreciation of his
narrating a documentary.
• Lalapa lusa (tiphiid wasp)
• Phytophthora infestans (fungus of the
Irish potato famine)
• Tabanus nippontucki (horse fly)
• Gelae baen (fungus beetle)
Escherichia coli or
Escherichia coli
• Genus first letter is
CAPITALIZED (written
first)
• Species is
lower case
• Written in Latin
• Italicized OR underlined
How do you write scientific name
for humans?
• Homo sapiens
• OR
• Homo sapiens
Carolus Linnaeus: devised the
binomial nomenclature system
• Studied medicine
• Disappointed
parents that he
did not enter
priesthood
• Studied plants to
make medicines
1707-1778

of Primates
Where do the name come from?
• Often they are Latin words, but they may
also come from Ancient Greek, from a
place, from a person (preferably a
naturalist), a name from a local language,
etc. In fact, taxonomists come up with
specific descriptors from a variety of
sources, including inside-jokes and puns.
Some Unusual Names
• Calponea harrisonfordi (spider) Named
after Harrison Ford in appreciation of his
narrating a documentary.
• Lalapa lusa (tiphiid wasp)
• Phytophthora infestans (fungus of the
Irish potato famine)
• Tabanus nippontucki (horse fly)
• Gelae baen (fungus beetle)
Dichotomous Key
• An identification key, also
known as a dichotomous
key, is a method of deducing
the correct species
assignment of a living thing.
Two Ways to Make the Key
• "Dichotomous" means
"divided into two parts".
Therefore, dichotomous
keys always give two
choices in each step.

All Tree Leaves
•
Needles
Broadleaf
Avoid using subjective terms: colors, big/small
(numbers are better)
Can use tree
guides.
Tips
• Better if the choice a positive one something "is" instead of "is not".
• If possible, start both choices of a pair with
the same word.
• 1. a. leaves with lobes
•
b. leaves single (no lobes)
Some common terms
•
lobed and one entire
•
»
serrated
Some examples
• Round, serrated
Base not even
• Teeth wide, sunken veins
Examples
• Four pointed lobes
• Deep lobes
almost to rib
Leaflets across
Some even have more than one
shape on the same tree
Get Handout: Good Tips
• Make a dichotomous key of 15 leaves
• One key/lab table
• Use 4 feet of white paper
• Use measurements (5 cm) rather than
terms like "large" and "small".
• Use terms others would understand.
• Always make two choices.
• Leaves will be taped at the end of the
division.
Comparing Prokaryotic and
Eukaryotic
• PROKARYOTIC
• No true nucleus
(called a nucleoid)
• smaller
• EUKARYOTIC
• True nucleus with
a membrane
• larger
• Comparing
prokaryotic and
eukaryotic
Six Kingdoms: Get Handout
Two Domains are Prokaryotic
• Genetic material NOT in a nucleus
(called a nucleoid instead)
• INCLUDES:
1. Eubacteria –true bacteria
2. Archaea – extreme bacteria
(sometimes “archaebacteria”)
• Bacteria Youtube (Archaea and Eubacteria)
(2:33)
Kingdom: Archaea
or Archaebacteria)
• Prokaryotic –no true nucleus
• Cell walls with no
peptidoglycan (see next slide)
• Unicellular – one celled
• Live in most extreme
environments
FYI: Discovered
• Discovering Archaea (3:24)
1977
What is peptidoglycan?
• A cross-linked complex of
polysaccharides (sugars) and
peptides (proteins) found in the
cell walls of bacteria
Kingdom: Archaea
• Thermophiles –love heat
• Psychrophiles –cold-loving
• Acidophiles –love acidic
environments
• Halophiles-love salty
• Barophiles-high pressure (ocean
bottom)
Archaea Examples
• Thermus
aquaticus
(Extremophiles
Youtube)
Found in hot
springs
Archaea Examples

Kingdom: EUBACTERIA (true
bacteria)

nucleus (just a nucleoid)

• Diverse environments and
metabolism
Eubacteria (Common)
• Staphylococcus
• Anthracis bacillus

Genetic material)
Includes 4 Kingdoms:
Protists
Fungi
Animals
Plants
Kingdom: Protista
• Eukaryotic – DO
have a nucleus
• Usually unicellular
• Varied cell walls
• (Plant-like, animallike, fungus –like)
PROTISTA
• Plant-like protists
(have chlorophyll)
• Animal-like protists
(Move)
Fungus-like protists
(slime molds move like
amoeba,
decomposer)

• Cell walls of
chitin –
stiffener

multicellular or
unicellular
Fungi
• Yeast
(unicellular
fungi)
• Can you see
the budding?
More Fungi
• Bracket Fungus
Toenail Fungus
Bread
mold

mold
Kingdom: Plantae
• Eukaryotic

Stiff, interlocking fibers in plants
Examples:
Kingdom: Animalia
