    Classification Taxonomy Powerpoint

    This document discusses classification and taxonomy of living things. It explains that Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of binomial nomenclature which assigns every organism a unique two-word scientific name based on its genus and species. This classification system organizes all living things into a hierarchy of eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Tools like phylogenies, cladograms and dichotomous keys help further classify organisms based on their traits and evolutionary relationships.

    The key takeaways are that classification organizes living things into groups based on shared characteristics and traits. Binomial nomenclature provides a unique scientific name for organisms.

    Classification puts organisms into groups by looking at characteristics (traits) they share. It organizes living things and allows scientists to communicate effectively.

    Carolus Linnaeus invented binomial nomenclature, the two-word naming system still used today to classify organisms scientifically. He is considered the father of taxonomy.

    Classification

    Notes
    Why do we classify?
     Classification puts organisms into groups
    by looking at characteristics (traits) they
    share.
    Taxonomy
     Classifying
    living things
    into groups
    based on their
    body
    structures
    (anatomy),
    DNA or other
    traits.
    Carolus Linneaus
     Swedish botanist,
    lived 1707-1778
     Invented binomial
    nomenclature, the 2-
    word naming system
    we still use today to
    classify organisms
     Called “the father of
    taxonomy.”
    Binomial Nomenclature

     Gives a unique 2-word, Latin, scientific


    name to all living things
     Genus is capitalized; species is not; both
    are italicized
     Examples: Homo sapiens = human
    Felis domesticus = cat
    Panthera tigris = tiger
    TURN & TALK
     What are these animals’ scientific
    names? Common Chimpanzee Paramecium
    name
    Domain Eukarya Eukarya
    Kingdom Animalia Protista
    Phylum Chordata Ciliophora
    Class Mammalia Ciliatea
    Order Primates Peniculida
    Family Hominidae Paramecidae
    Genus Pan Paramecium
    species troglodytes caudatum
    (scientific
    name) ? ?
    What would
    you call this
    creature?
    Why are scientific names
    better than common
    names?
     Ex: pill bug, rolly polly, potato bug
     Common names for the same species
    are different and confusing
     Binomial Nomenclature uses Latin (a
    “dead” unchanging language) that is
    understood by scientists worldwide
     Scientific Name: Armadillidium vulgare
    8 taxa of classification:
    1. Domain
    2. Kingdom
    3. Phylum
    4. Class
    5. Order
    6. Family
    Binomial name or
    7. Genus
    Scientific Name
    8. Species
    8 taxa of classification
    DOMAIN
    “Trick” to remember the 8
    taxa of classification:
     Dumb
     King
     Phillip
     Came
     Over
     For
     Grape
     Soda
    Species
     Species is the
    smallest, most
    specific group in
    classification
     Organisms in the
    same species
    can reproduce
    together AND
    their offspring are
    fertile.
    Tool: Phylogeny
    a “family tree” that classifies
    organisms by their evolutionary
    history
    Tool: Cladogram
     Shows older traits (bottom)
     Shows newer or “derived” traits (top)
    Tool: Dichotomous Key
     Helps identify organisms
     Questions with 2 answer choices lead
    you through the key until you find the
    correct organism
    END
    Vocabulary

     These are words you must know when


    classifying organisms.
    prokaryote

    • Organism that doesn’t have a


    nucleus
    • Its DNA is “loose” inside the cell
    • All bacteria are prokaryotes.
    Eukaryote

    • An organism that has a nuceus


    with DNA inside.
    • All protists, fungi, plants &
    animals are eukaryotes.
    Heterotroph

     An organism that has to eat or consume


    nutrition.
    Autotroph

     An organism that automatically feeds


    itself.
     It makes its own food by photosynthesis
    or chemosynthesis.
    unicellular

     An organism with only 1 cell


    What does
    multicellular mean?
    • Having more than one cell
    Cell wall

     A hard covering outside the cell


    membrane.
     Cells of bacteria, fungi and plants have
    cell walls.
    Cell membrane

     A flexible covering outside of all cells!


     All organisms have cell membranes.
     It lets good stuff pass in and keeps bad
    things out.
    motile

     Able to move
     All animals, some bacteria & protists are
    motile.
    sessile

     Not able to move


     All plants are sessile.
    Sexual reproduction

     Involves 2 parents
     Some sexual reproduction takes place
    outside the parents’ bodies. They don’t
    touch!
    Asexual reproduction

     Involves only 1 parent.
