Classification of Living

TAXONOMY
_______________ =
branch of biology that
names and groups organisms
Early Taxonomist
Aristotle
Linnaeus
(300 B.C.)

The first person to
group or classify
organisms was the
Greek teacher &
philosopher
ARISTOTLE
_______________
more than 2000
years ago.

Aristotle’s Classification
-
Two groups
- Plants
- based on size
- Herbs
- Shrubs
- Trees
- Animals – where they lived
- Land
- Air
- Water

Common names can vary
Example:
puma,
catamount,
mountain lion,
cougar
. . . are all names
for same animal
By using a universally accepted scientific name,
scientists can be sure they are discussing
the same organism
Common names vary
Chipmunk
Streifenhornchen (German)
Tamia (Italian)
Ardilla listada (Spanish)

Common names can be misleading
Ex:
A jellyFISH isn’t a fish,
but a seaHORSE is!
Image from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jellyfish
Sea cucumber
sounds like a plant
but… it’s an animal!

By mid 19th century,
scientists recognized that
using common names was
confusing.
Scientists agreed to use
____________
to give a
Latin and Greek
single name to each
species.
Linnaeus’s System


Based on physical and structural
similarities
Developed the two word system of
naming organisms
• Binomial Nomenclature
• First word = Genus
• Second word = Species
Linnaeus’s System
Organisms are grouped in a
hierarchy of 7 different
taxonomic levels
OR ____________
TAXONS
Each organism has a two part
scientific name
= BINOMIAL

The more taxonomic
rankings two
organisms have in
common the more
alike those organisms
are.
Scientific Name

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
(2-name naming system)
1st name = _______________
GENUS NAME
– Always capitalized
2nd name = _________________
SPECIES NAME
–Always lower case
UNDERLINED or
Both names are ______________
ITALICS
written in ____________.
GENUS = group of closely related
species
GENUS = Ursus
Ursus
arctos
(Includes many kinds of bears)
Ursus
maritimus
Ursus
americanis
SPECIES = unique to each kind of bear

In order to be classified organism must be alive
Why Viruses are not Classified
DNA surrounded by protein coat:
Viruses are not living
no reproduction
The Prokaryotes
Kingdom Eubacteria
Prokaryotes - true bacteria
Found everywhere
Kingdom Archeabacteria
Prokaryotes – ancient bacteria
Found in hot springs, sulfur springs, salt lakes,
inhospitable places
The Eukaryotes
Kingdom Protista
Most diverse kingdom
Mostly microscopic
Most Unicellular
Lacks a complex organ system
May be autotrophic or heterotrophic
Eukaryotes con’t
Kingdom Fungi
Heterotrophs
May be multicellular
or unicellular
Absorbs nutrients
