Aim: How do scientists classify living organisms? What is Taxonomy? Taxonomy is the branch of biology that involves the identification, naming, and classification of species. The modern classification system is based on structural similarities and evolutionary relationships. The modern system of classification now contains five major groups called Kingdoms. What are the subcategories? Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species “General to Specific” King Phillip Come Out For Goodness Sake How do scientists universally name organisms? They use what Linnaeus referred to as: Binomial nomenclature Homo sapien Felis feline Canis familaris They are named using the: Genus & species 5 Kingdom System: All living things are divided into 5 Main Kingdoms. Monera, Protista, Fungus, Plant and Animal Kingdom Monera Which are single-celled prokaryotes (bacteria). Characteristics: 1)No nucleus 2)No membrane enclosed organelles 3)Have cell walls (peptidoglycan) 4)Some are pathogenic (cause us harm) Kingdom Protista Eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi are classified as protists. Most are unicellular. They are very diverse organisms. Amoeba Paramecium Types of Fungi: (heterotrophic) Mushrooms Yeast (unicellular) Molds Plant Kingdom • Autotrophic • Plant cells • multicellular Animal Kingdom • Heterotrophic • Multicellular
