1 Classification

2 Diversity of Life Biologists have identified over 1.5 million different species of living organisms so far... Estimates = between million species yet to be discovered

3

4 What is Classification? Classification is the systematic grouping of living organisms based on characteristics and evolutionary relationships Classification is also known as taxonomy Taxonomists are scientists that identify and name organisms

5 Turdus migratorius Standardized Naming - Binomial nomenclature used - Genus species - Latin or Greek - Italicized in print - Capitalize genus, but NOT species American Robin

6 Binomial Nomenclature Which TWO are more closely related?

7 Classification Groups - Taxon (taxa plural) is a category into which related organisms are placed - There is a hierarchy of groups (taxa) from broadest to most specific - Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order Family, Genus, species

8 Dashing King Phillip Came Over For Good Soup!

9 Which level has the MOST organisms? Kingdom Which level has the LEAST organisms? Species

10 If a Grizzly Bear and the red fox are the the SAME order, what other levels of classification MUST they share? CLASS! PHYLUM! KINGDOM!

11 Let s Practice! Category Grizzly Bear Black Bear Giant Panda Red Fox Squirrel Kingdom Animalia Animalia Animalia Animalia Animalia Phylum Chordata Chordata Chordata Chordata Chordata Class Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Order Carnivora Carnivora Carnivora Carnivora - Family Ursidae Ursidae Ursidae - - Genus Ursus Ursus Specie Arctos What is the name for the Grizzly Bear in binomial nomenclature? Ursus arctos

19 There are 6 KINGDOMS. So how are the kingdoms grouped? Cell Type (prokaryote or eukaryote) Number of cells (multicellular or unicellular) Method of Eating (producer or consumer)

20 There are 6 Kingdoms Animals Plants Fungi Protists Bacteria Archaebacteria
