Classification, Bacteria, & Viruses Unit 7 Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Early Systems of Classification Biologists use a system of classification to organize information about living things. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Aristotle’s System Aristotle classified organisms as either animals or plants. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Linnaeus’s System Linnaeus’s system of classification was the first formal system of taxonomy. Perching bird Bird of prey Wading bird Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Binomial Nomenclature Linnaeus’s method of naming organisms, called binomial nomenclature, gives each species a scientific name with two parts. The first part is the genus name, and the second part is the species. Ex. Ursus americanus Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Biologists use scientific names for species because common names vary in different areas of the world. Ursus americanus American black bear Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification When writing a scientific name, scientists use these rules: The first letter of the genus name always is capitalized, but the rest of the genus name and all letters of the species are lowercase. If a scientific name is written in a printed book or magazine, it should be italicized. When a scientific name is written by hand, both parts of the name should be underlined. After the scientific name has been written completely, the genus name will be abbreviated to the first letter in later appearances (e.g., C. cardinalis). Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Taxonomic Categories The taxonomic categories are part of a hierarchal system. Each category is contained within another, and they are arranged from broadest to most specific. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Species and Genus A named group of organisms is called a taxa. A genus is a group of species that are closely related and share a common ancestor. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Family A family is the next higher taxon, consisting of similar, related genera. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.1 The History of Classification Higher Taxa An order contains related families. A class contains related orders. A phylum contains related classes. The taxon of related phyla or divisions is a kingdom. The domain is the broadest of all the taxa and contains one or more kingdoms. Grizzly bear Black bear Giant panda Red fox Abert squirrel Coral snake Sea star KINGDOM Animalia PHYLUM Chordata CLASS Mammalia ORDER Carnivora FAMILY Ursidae GENUS Ursus SPECIES Ursus arctos Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Typological Species Concept Aristotle and Linnaeus thought of each species as a distinctly different group of organisms based on physical similarities. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Biological Species Concept The biological species concept a species as a group of organisms that is able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring in a natural setting. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Phylogenic Species Concept Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species. The phylogenic species concept shows evidence of a pattern of ancestry and descent. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Morphological Characters Shared morphological characters suggest that species are related closely and evolved from a recent common ancestor. Analogous characters the same function but different underlying construction. Homologous characters different functions, but show an anatomical similarity inherited from a common ancestor. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Biochemical Characters Scientists use biochemical characters, such as amino acids and nucleotides, to help them determine evolutionary relationships among species. DNA and RNA analyses are powerful tools for reconstructing phylogenies. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Phylogenetic Reconstruction Cladistics reconstructs phylogenies based on shared characters. Scientists consider two main types of characters when doing cladistic analysis. An ancestral character is found within the entire line of descent of a group of organisms. Derived characters are present members of one group of the line but not in the common ancestor. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.2 Modern Classification Cladograms The greater the number of derived characters shared by groups, the more recently the groups share a common ancestor.

The six kingdoms are Bacteria, Archaea, Protists, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Domain Bacteria Eubacteria are prokaryotes whose cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Domain Archaea Archaea are thought to be more ancient than bacteria and yet more closely related to our eukaryote ancestors. They are called extremophiles because they can live in extreme environments. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Domain Eukarya All eukaryotes are classified in Domain Eukarya. Domain Eukarya contains Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae, and Kingdom Animalia. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Kingdom Protista Protists are eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular, colonial, or multicellular. Protists are classified into three different groups— plantlike, animallike, and funguslike. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Kingdom Fungi A fungus is a unicellular or multicellular eukaryote that absorbs nutrients from organic materials in its environment. Member of Kingdom Fungi are heterotrophic, lack motility, and have cell walls. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Kingdom Plantae Members of Kingdom Plantae form the base of all terrestrial habitats. All plants are multicellular and have cell walls composed of cellulose. Most plants are autotrophs, but some are heterotrophic. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Kingdom Animalia All animals are heterotrophic, multicellular eukaryotes. Animal organs often are organized into complex organ systems. They live in the water, on land, and in the air. Chapter 17 Organizing Life’s Diversity 17.3 Domains and Kingdoms Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Diversity of Prokaryotes Bacteria are microscopic organisms that are prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are divided into two domains— the Domain Bacteria (eubacteria) and the Domain Archaea (archaebacteria).

Halophiles (HA luh filz) live in very salty environments. Methanogens (meh THAHN oh jenz) cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Differences Between Eubacteria and Archaebacteria The cell walls of the eubacteria contain peptidoglycan, but the cell walls of archaebacteria do not. The two groups of organisms have different lipids in their plasma membranes. Different ribosomal proteins and RNA Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Prokaryote Structure Prokaryotes are microscopic, unicellular organisms. They have some characteristics of all cells, such as DNA and ribosomes.

Dyes added to the bacteria identify those with and those without an outer layer of lipid. Purple = gram positive cell wall contains peptidoglycan Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Movement Prokaryotic flagella are made of filaments. Flagella help prokaryotes to move toward materials that they need to survive. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Reproduction of Prokaryotes Binary Fission Division of a cell into two genetically identical cells Conjugation Two prokaryotes attach to each other and exchange genetic information. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Photoautotrophs Carry out photosynthesis in a similar manner as plants Chemoautotrophs Break down and release inorganic compounds that contain nitrogen or sulfur Aerobes and Anaerobes Obligate aerobes are bacteria that require oxygen to grow. Anaerobic bacteria do not use oxygen for growth or metabolism. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Survival of Bacteria Endospores Resistant to harsh environments and might be able to survive extreme heat, extreme cold, dehydration, and large amounts of ultraviolet radiation Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Mutations Bacteria reproduce quickly and their population grows rapidly. Mutations lead to new forms of genes, new gene combinations, new characteristics, and genetic diversity. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Ecology of Bacteria Nutrient cycling and nitrogen fixation Bacteria are decomposers, returning vital nutrients to the environment. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship in the root nodules of plants such as soybeans, clover, and alfalfa. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Normal Flora Most of the bacteria that live in or on you are harmless and are called normal flora. 21,674x E. coli Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Foods and Medicines Some foods are made with the aid of bacteria. cheese yogurt buttermilk pickles vitamins Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.1 Bacteria Disease-causing Bacteria A small percentage of bacteria cause disease. Bacteria multiply quickly at the site of infection. Bacteria secrete a toxin. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.2 Viruses and Prions Viruses A nonliving strand of genetic material within a protein coat No organelles to take in nutrients or use energy Cannot make proteins Cannot move Cannot replicate on their own Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.2 Viruses and Prions Viral Infection In order to replicate, a virus must enter a host cell. The virus attaches to the host cell using specific receptors on the plasma membrane. Many viruses cannot be transmitted between different species. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.2 Viruses and Prions Lytic Cycle The host cell makes many copies of the viral RNA or DNA. Lysogenic Cycle Viral DNA inserts, or integrates into a chromosome in a host cell. Infected cell will have the viral genes permanently. Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.2 Viruses and Prions Chapter 18 Bacteria and Viruses 18.2 Viruses and Prions Retroviruses Viruses that have RNA instead of DNA for their genetic material Retroviruses have a protein capsid.

Some reproduce asexually by mitosis while others exchange genetic material during meiosis. Chapter 19 Protists 19.1 Introduction to Protists Classifying Protists Some scientists classify protists by their methods of obtaining nutrition. Animal-like protists Plantlike protists Funguslike protists Chapter 20 Fungi 20.1 Introduction to Fungi Major Features of Fungi Cell wall composed of chitin Hyphae form a netlike mass called a mycelium. Hyphae provide a larger surface area for nutrient absorption. Chapter 20 Fungi 20.1 Introduction to Fungi Spore Production The asexual and sexual life cycle of most fungi includes spore production. A spore develops into a new organism without the fusion of gametes. Spores produce new hyphae that form a mycelium. Chapter 21 Introduction to Plants 21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations Stomata Enable the exchange of gases on a plant Openings in the outer cell layer of leaves and some stems Chapter 21 Introduction to Plants 21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations Vascular Tissues Vascular tissue enables faster movement of substances than by osmosis and diffusion, and over greater distances. Vascular tissue provides support and structure, so vascular plants can grow larger than nonvascular plants. Chapter 21 Introduction to Plants 21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations Seeds A plant structure that contains an embryo, contains nutrients for the embryo, and is covered with a protective coat These features enable seeds to survive harsh environmental conditions and then sprout when favorable conditions exist.
