CLASSIFICATION/TAXONOMY
• Standard: SB3 Classification and diversity
• EQ: How do we classify things?
•
1
Write down as many things or areas that you can
classify at school; in the classroom; in the gym; at
home.
• Eg. Types of clothes, color of shoes, sports equipment,
cars, etc.

What is Classification?
4
• Classification is the arrangement of
organisms into orderly groups based on
their similarities
• Classification is also known as taxonomy
•
Eg. Classify types of shoes in the classroom.
What other things can we classify?
• Taxonomists are scientists that identify
& name organisms

Benefits of Classifying
5
• Accurately & uniformly names
organisms
• Prevents misnomers such as starfish &
jellyfish that aren't really fish
• Uses same language (Latin or some
Greek) for all names
Sea”horse”??

Languages for Names

Latin Names are Understood
by all Taxonomists

Early Taxonomists
•2000 years ago,
Aristotle was the first
taxonomist
•Aristotle divided
organisms into plants &
animals
•He subdivided them
by their habitat --land, sea, or air
dwellers

Carolus Linnaeus
1707 – 1778
• 18th century
taxonomist
• Classified organisms
by their structure
• Developed naming
system still used
today
copyright cmassengale
9
Carolus Linnaeus
10
•Called the “Father of Taxonomy”
•Developed the modern system of
naming known as binomial
nomenclature
•Two-word name (Genus & species)
copyright cmassengale
Standardized Naming
•Binomial nomenclature
used
•Genus species
•Latin or Greek
•Italicized in print
•Capitalize genus, but
NOT species
•Underline when writing

Classification Groups
14
• Taxon ( taxa-plural) is a category into
which related organisms are placed
• There is a hierarchy of groups (taxa) from
broadest to most specific
• Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order,
Family, Genus, species

Today
• Dichotomous Key Practice
• Hierarchy review
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

22
Example of Dichotomous
Key
•1a Tentacles present – Go to 2
•1b Tentacles absent – Go to 3
•2a Eight Tentacles – Octopus
•2b More than 8 tentacles – 3
•3a Tentacles hang down – go to 4
•3b Tentacles upright–Sea Anemone
•4a Balloon-shaped body–Jellyfish
•4b Body NOT balloon-shaped - 5

Dichotomous key
•
Create a dichotomous key using the following list of specimens: pine tree, clam, rock,
•
robin, tin can, deer, oak tree, mouse, dandelion, Paramecium, bicycle, ant
•
Here's an example in written form using these items:
•
1. a. Organism is living........................................................go to 4.
•
1. b. Organism is nonliving..................................................go to 2.
•
2. a. Object is metallic........................................................go to 3.
•
2. b. Object is nonmetallic..................................................ROCK.
•
3. a. Object has wheels......................................................BICYCLE.
•
3. b. Object does not have wheels......................................TIN CAN.
•
4. a. Organism is microscopic...................................PARAMECIUM.
•
4. b. Organism is macroscopic............................................go to 5.
•
5. a. Organism is a plant.....................................................go to 6.
•
5. b. Organism is an animal.................................................go to 8.
•
6. a. Plant has a woody stem..............................................go to 7.
•
6. b. Plant has a herbaceous stem.................................DANDELION.
•
7. a. Tree has needle like leaves.....................................PINE TREE.
•
7. b. Tree has broad leaves............................................OAK TREE.
•
8. a. Organism lives on land................................................go to 9.
•
8. b. Organism lives in water...............................................CLAM.
•
9. a. Organism has 4 legs or fewer......................................go to 10.
•
9. b. Organism has more than 4 legs...................................ANT.
•
10 a. Organism has fur........................................................go to 11.
•
10 b. Organism has feathers................................................ROBIN.
•
11 a. Organism has hooves.................................................DEER.
•
11 b. Organism has no hooves............................................MOUSE.

Extension:
•
A. The names of the smilies give you another bit of information about their taxonomy. Each of these smilies belongs to the same genus. What is their
genus? _______________________________
•
B. Names are often given to an organism by the person who discovers it, though they follow certain conventions, often they are named after the person,
or where the organism was found, or given a name that describes the creature. Which convention was used in naming these smilies?
______________________________________________
•
C. Suppose you discovered the new smiley pictured to the right.
What name would you give it? _____________________________________

• Standard: SB3 Classification and diversity
• EQ: How do we classify things?
• I can classify organisms.
• Warm-up:
• Write a paragraph (at least 3-5 sentences)
• telling what you know about classification.
• Include binomial nomenclature and the
• terms that are related to biological
• classification. You might be selected to
• read (share) your paragraph to the class.

Domains
37
• Broadest, most inclusive taxon
• Three domains
• Archaea and Bacteria are
unicellular prokaryotes (no nucleus
or membrane-bound organelles)
• Eukarya are more complex and have
a nucleus and membrane-bound
organelles
copyright cmassengale
ARCHAEA
•
•
•
•
Kingdom - ARCHAEBACTERIA
Probably the 1st cells to evolve
Live in HARSH environments
Found in:
– Sewage Treatment Plants (Methanogens)
– Thermal or Volcanic Vents (Thermophiles)
– Hot Springs or Geysers that are acid
– Very salty water (Dead Sea; Great Salt
Lake) - Halophiles

BACTERIA
41
• Kingdom - EUBACTERIA
• Some may cause DISEASE
• Found in ALL HABITATS except harsh
ones
• Important decomposers for environment
• Commercially important in making
cottage cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, etc.
copyright cmassengale
Domain Eukarya is Divided 42
into Kingdoms
• Protista (protozoans, algae…)
• Fungi (mushrooms, yeasts …)
• Plantae (multicellular plants)
• Animalia (multicellular animals)
•

Protista
•Most are
unicellular
•Some are
multicellular
•Some are
autotrophic, while
others are
heterotrophic
•Aquatic
copyright cmassengale
43
Fungi
• Multicellular,
except yeast
• Absorptive
heterotrophs
(digest food
outside their
body & then
absorb it)
• Cell walls made of
chitin
copyright cmassengale
44
Plantae
•Multi-cellular
•Autotrophic
•Absorb sunlight to
make glucose –
Photosynthesis
•Cell walls made of
cellulose
copyright cmassengale
45
Animalia
• Multicellular
• Ingestive
heterotrophs
(consume food
& digest it
inside their
bodies)
• Feed on plants
or animals
copyright cmassengale

47

Taxons
• Most genera contain a number
of similar species
• The genus Homo is an
exception (only contains
modern humans)
• Classification is based on
evolutionary relationships
copyright cmassengale
69
Basis for Modern Taxonomy70
• Homologous structures (same
structure, different function)
• Similar embryo development
• Molecular Similarity in DNA,
RNA, or amino acid sequence
of Proteins
copyright cmassengale
71
Used by today’s
taxonomists to group
similar organisms into
more accurate taxonomic
groups
