The eight taxonomic levels
include…


The most general taxonomic level
is…the most specific is…
Kingdom
 Class, order, family, genus, species

Two organisms in the same
phylum would also have to be in
the same… but not necessarily in
the same…
A cladogram
 Morphological characteristics and
biochemical similarities are examples of
traits that are used to build a cladogram.

A chart that shows the
evolutionary relationship between
groups of organisms is called…

eubacteria
Which kingdom contains
organisms that are unicellular,
prokaryotic and live in common
places?

Archaebacteria
Which kingdom contains
organisms that are prokaryotic,
unicellular, and live in harsh
environments?

protista
Which kingdom contains
organisms that are
unicellular(some colonial) and
eukaryotic?
Which kingdom contains
organisms that are
multicelluar(some uni), nonmotile, and
heterotrophic(saprophytic)?

plantae
Which kingdom contains
organisms that are multicellur,
non-motile, and autotrophic?

animalia
Which kingdom contains
organisms that are multicellular,
motile and heterotrophic?
Eubacteria
 Disease causing bacteria need to be in
common places in order for us to come
into contact with them.

The major pathogenic bacteria
belong to which kingdom?
animalia
What kingdom contains cells
which do not have cell walls?

How close they are on the branches of the
cladogram.
On a cladogram, how closely
related two organisms are is
demonstrated by…

taxonomy
Which branch of science classifies
living organisms?
Decomposers
 Pathogens
 Food source
 Genetic research

Why are fungus important?
A notochord (nerve cord) which runs
down the back of the organism.
 In most chordates this is surrounded by a
vertebral column.
 All chordates also have pharyngeal slits
and tail.

What is the defining characteristic
of Phylum Chordata?
Nucleic acids
 Protein coat

What are the basic parts of a
virus?
Viruses
 Vaccines are weakened or killed viruses
which are injected and cause an immune
response which protects against future
viral infections.

Vaccines are effective against…

Bacterial infections
Antibiotics are effective against…

Infecting a host and using it’s ribosomes
etc.
The only way viruses can
reproduce is by…
