Classification, why and how?
• Living world is full of diversity and complexity
• Organisms are categorized in different super
groups and subgroups to make their study easier
• Biology is an ongoing enquiry about the nature of
life and classification of life forms is a part of it.
• Biologist use different criterions for classification
based on the characteristics of life.
• Morphology – External structure and appearance
• Anatomy – Internal structure and appearances
• Biochemical pathways – various chemical
reactions occurring inside the body
• Ecological – Various adaptation to suit their
environmental requirements
Hierarchy of life
Common thread weaves this hierarchy
• The study of life reveals unifying themes
• Organization - living organisms are highly ordered
in structure
• Information – life processes involves expression
and transmission of information
• Energy and matter processing - Life requires
transfer and transformation of energy and matter
• Interactions at every level of hierarchy -
Interaction leads to emergence of new properties
in biological systems
• Idea of evolution makes logical sense of
everything we know about living organisms
The Cell
• Cells are as fundamental to biology as atom is for
chemistry
• Cell is the simplest collection of matter that can
be considered a living entity
• All cells are related by their descent from earlier
cells
• Although cells can differ substantially from one
another they share common features
• Discovered by Robert hook in 1665
• Cell theory was developed by Schlieiden and
Schwann in 1839
Classification based on cellularity
Unicellular organisms
• Composed of single cell
• Microscopic in nature
• Division of labor is at
organelle level
• Includes both eukaryotes
and prokaryotes
• Life span is short
• Asexual reproduction is
predominant
• Bacteria, amoeba,
paramecium, yeast
Multicellular organisms
• Composed of more than
one cells
• Mostly macroscopic
• Division of labor is at
cellular level
• Only eukaryotes
• Shows longer lifespan
• Both asexual and sexual
mode of reproduction
• Humans, elephants, whales,
trees
