Classification of Organisms
Essential Question – Bell Ringer
How can a biologist tell if two
organisms belong to the same
kingdom?
Organisms that belong to the same
kingdom share structural and
physiological characteristics that
enable scientists to place them in
distinct groups.
Pre-Preview Question
• Which is the correct order for classification
of organisms?
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
How do you
remember this?
Pre-Review Question
• A multicellular photosynthetic organism
would probably be classified as a ?
A. Protist
B. Bacteria
C. Plant
D. Animal
Pre-Review Question
• In which kingdom is an organism classified
if it lacks a membrane around its genetic
material?
A. Plantae
B. Eubacteria
C. Protista
D. Animalia
Six Kingdoms
Six Kingdoms
Hierarchical Classification
I need to remember……..
• I need to remember . . .
• Scientists use internal and external characteristics to
classify organisms into similar groups.
• Within the hierarchical classification system, the domain
is the group that includes the greatest number of
organisms and exhibits the greatest diversity of
organisms.
• The species is the group that includes the fewest number
of organisms and exhibits the least diversity of
organisms.
• Taxonomy is a branching classification system that
provides a standardized method for grouping organisms.
Post Review Question
• Which of the following contain all
the kingdoms with eukaryotic
organisms?
A. Archae and Bacteria
B. Animalia, Plantae, and Bacteria
C. Animalia, Plantae, and Protista
D. Animalia, Plantae, Protista, and
Fungi
Post Review Question
• A team of scientists collected a unicellular,
prokaryotic organism that lived in a volcanic hot
spring and had lipids in its cell membrane that
were not found in any other group of organisms.
The scientists most likely classified the organism
into which of the following kingdoms?
A. Plantae
B. Animalia
C. Archaebacteria
D. Fungi
