Transcript Chapter 18 Classification

Classification
1
What is Classification?
Classification/taxonomy is the
arrangement of organisms into
orderly groups based on their
similarities
Taxonomists are scientists that
identify & name organisms
2
Benefits of Classifying
•organisms
Accurately & uniformly names
•starfish
Prevents misnomers such as
& jellyfish that aren't
really fish
Uses same language (Latin or
some Greek) for all names
•

3
Confusion in Using Different
Languages for Names
4
Latin Names are Understood by
all Taxonomists
5
Carolus Linnaeus
•Called the “Father of
Taxonomy”
•Developed the modern
1707 – 1778
system of naming known
as binomial nomenclature
Two-word name (Genus
& species)
•
6
Standardized Naming
•Binomial
nomenclature
•Genus species
•Latin or Greek
Turdus migratorius
American Robin

Classification Groups
• Taxon ( taxa-plural) is a
•
category into which related
organisms are placed
There is a hierarchy of groups
(taxa) from broadest to most
specific

Domains
• Broadest, most inclusive taxon
• Three domains
• Archaea and Eubacteria are
•
unicellular prokaryotes (no
nucleus or membrane-bound
organelles)
Eukarya are more complex and
have a nucleus and membranebound organelles
12
Domain Archaea
Archaea live in harsh environments and may
represent the first cells to have evolved.
Sewage
treatment
plants, thermal
vents, etc.
13
Domain Eubacteria
Eubacteria, some of which cause
human diseases, are present in
almost all habitats on earth.
Live in the
intestines
of animals
Many bacteria are important
environmentally and commercially.
14
Domain Eukarya is Divided
into Kingdoms
•Protista (protozoans, algae…)
•Fungi (mushrooms, yeasts …)
•Plantae (multicellular plants)
•Animalia (multicellular animals)
15
•Most are
unicellular
•Some are
multicellular
•Some are
Protista
autotrophic, while
others are
heterotrophic
16
Fungi
• Multicellular,
except yeast
• Absorptive
•
heterotrophs
(digest food
outside their
body & then
absorb it)
Cell walls
made of chitin
17
Plantae
•Multicellular
•Autotrophic
•Absorb sunlight
to make glucose –
Photosynthesis
Cell walls made of
cellulose
•
18
• Multicellular
• Ingestive
•
Animalia
heterotrophs
(consume food
& digest it
inside their
bodies)
Feed on plants
or animals

Dichotomous Keying
•Used to identify organisms
•Characteristics given in pairs
•Read both characteristics
and either go to another set
of characteristics OR
identify the organism

Tentacles present – Go to 2
Tentacles absent – Go to 3
Eight Tentacles – Octopus
More than 8 tentacles – 3
Tentacles hang down – go to 4
Tentacles upright–Sea Anemone
Balloon-shaped body–Jellyfish

Your assignment
Write a letter explaining the classification of living
things. You must describe each kingdom from the
Eukarya domain in detail. Include cell type, cell
structures, number of cells, mode of nutrition and
some examples this person may have heard of.
REMEMBER, this person most likely does not
understand what the terms eukaryotic,
prokaryotic, unicellular, multi-cellular, autotrophs,
heterotrophs or various cell structures mean. Be
sure to include an explanation of the terms or lose
50 valuable points!
