7 levels of classification
(Largest to Smallest)
kingdom, phylum, class,
order, family, genus, species
Animalia
kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic
heterotrophs - cells do not have cell walls
Archaebacteria
kingdom of unicellular prokaryotes whose cell walls do
not contain peptidoglycan; oldest bacteria, can live in
extreme environments like volcanoes
Bacteriophage
Virus that attacks bacteria- made of a DNA
core and a protein outer shell called a
capsid
binomial nomenclature
a two-word naming system developed
by Linnaeus (Genus species)
Capsid
Outer protein coat of a virus
cladogram
a diagram that shows the evolutionary
relationships among a group of organisms
- uses derived characters
class
group of similar orders
derived character
characteristics that appear in recent parts
of a lineage but not in its older membersused to make a cladogram
Eubacteria
kingdom of unicellular prokaryotes whose
cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan
evolutionary classification
the strategy of grouping organisms
together based on their evolutionary
history
facultative anaerobe
bacteria that can survive with
or without oxygen
family
group of genera that share
many characteristics
Fungi
kingdom composed of heterotrophs; many obtain
energy and nutrients from dead organic matter, have
cell walls made of chitin; once grouped with plants
genus
a group of closely related species; the
capitalized part of an organism's scientific
name
Gram Staining
Lab technique that identifies different
types of bacteria based on differences in
their cell walls
kingdom
largest taxonomic group, consisting
of closely related phyla
obligate aerobe
bacteria requiring oxygen to
survive
obligated anaerobe
bacteria that do not need
oxygen to survive
order
group of similar families
phylum
group of closely related
classes
Plantae
kingdom of multicellular photosynthetic
autotrophs that have cell walls containing
cellulose
Protista
kingdom composed of eukaryotes that are
not classified as plants, animals, or fungi,
have cell walls
taxonomy

assigning them a universally accepted
name
