Section 1 Sorting It All Out
Why Classify?
• Answering Questions The classification of living
things makes it easier for biologist to answer
many important questions such as:
1. How many known species are there?
2. What are the defining characteristics of each
species?
3. What are the relationships between these
species?

How do Scientists Classify Organisms?
• Classification Today Taxonomists use the
eight-level system to classify living things based
on shared characteristics.
• Branching Diagrams On a branching diagram,
several characteristics are listed along the line
that points to the right. Each characteristic is
shared by the animals to the right of it.

Levels of Classification
• Kingdoms and Beyond The eight levels of
classification are:
1. Domain
2. Kingdom
3. Phylum
4. Class
5. Order
6. Family
7. Genus
8. Species

Scientific Names
• One Species, One Name A scientific name is
always the same for a specific kind of organism
no matter how many common names there might
be.
• Two-Part Names The first part of a species’s
name is the genus name. It is always capitalized.
The second part of the name is the species name.

Dichotomous Keys
• What Is a Dichotomous Key? A dichotomous
key is a tool for identifying organisms that uses a
series of paired descriptive statements.
• Two-Part Names By working through the
statements in a dichotomous key in order, a
person can eventually identify an unknown
organism.

• Still Discoveries to Make People are still
discovering and classifying organisms.
• Discovery Unique Organisms Sometimes new
organisms are found that are so different from
other known organisms that new classes, phyla,

What Is It?
• What Is Used to Classify Organisms?
Organisms are classified by their characteristics.
• Adding New Classification Categories As
scientists continue to learn about living things,
they add classification categories that account for
the characteristics of different organisms.

Section 2 Domains and Kingdoms
The Two Kingdoms of Bacteria
• The Domain Archaea Archaea are one of two kinds
of prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled
organisms that do not have a nucleus. Most are
known to live in extreme environments.
• The Domain Bacteria Bacteria are another kind of
prokaryote. Bacteria can be found in soil, water,
and even on and inside the human body.

The Domain Eukarya
• The Kingdom Protista Today members of the
kingdom Protista commonly called protists, are
single-celled or simple multicelluar organisms.
• Protista contains many kinds of organisms,
including protozoans, algae, and euglenoids.

• Fungi do not perform photosynthesis or eat food.
Instead, fungi absorb nutrients from substances in
their surroundings.

birds, apes, elephants, and more are all examples
of members of the kingdom Animalia.
• Simple Animals Most animals are able to move,
but sponges, a simple animal, cannot move.

Passage 1 When organizing life on Earth into
categories, we must remember that organisms are not
equally distributed throughout the categories of our
classification system. We often think of Earth’s living
things as only the plants and animals that live on
Earth’s surface. However, the largest domains in terms
of mass are the domains Archaea and Bacteria. And a
common home of archaea and bacteria may be deep
within the Earth’s crust.

Passage 2 When you think of an animal, what do you
imagine? You may think of a dog, a cat, or a parrot. All
of those organisms are animals. But the animal
kingdom also includes some members that might
surprise you, such as worms, insects, corals, and
sponges.
