L.T- I will be able to classify organisms using external structures and behaviors.
Know: What do you know about the Classification System?

I don’t know anything.” is not an acceptable answer.
You will be given a 7 Levels of Classification Chart to glue into this spot in your lab book– no extra work today!
classification
Clarifying ?s Information
Why?
taxonomy
- grouping things based on their similarities
Biologists classify because it is easier to study organisms.
Classification System
- scientific study of how living things are classified
Carolus Linnaeus
Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist He created a biological naming system consisting of two Latin names
binomial nomenclature
- It is a two part scientific name made up of Latin words - the first word being the Genus and the second being the species.
Genus - first part of the name - the group (always capitalized)Example: The group the house cat belongs to is Felis
species - second part of the name - divides the group or genus A species is also a group of closely related organisms that can produce fertile offspring.
Example: The species of the house cat is domesticusFYI: Cats belong to the family felidae (Families have a female Latin ending.) House cat = Felis domesticus, Lion = Panthera leo, Tiger = Panthera tigris, Mountain lion = Puma concolor, Cheetah = Acinonyx jubatus, Bobcat = Lynx rufus,
Seven levels of classification
Organisms are grouped by characteristics, not necessarily by where they live.
Clarifying ?s InformationClassification starts with the largest characteristics and works down to the species.
Classification System
Kingdom - phylum - class - order - family - Genus - species
King Phillip came over for good soup.
Six kingdoms 1. archaebacteria 2. eubacteria 3. protists 4. fungi 5. plants 6. animals
unicellular - Organism is only one cell.
multicellular - Organism is made up of many cells.
prokaryote - Organism without nucleus
eukaryote - Organism with nucleus
heterotroph - Organism can’t make its own food.Example: eats other organisms
autotroph - Organism makes its own food using light or chemicals
Two ways
photosynthesis - Plants make sugar with carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.Example: CO2 + H2O + sunlight = C6H12O6 (sugar)
chemosynthesis - Bacteria make sugar with carbon dioxide, water, and hydrogen or methane.
Example: CO2 + H2O + hydrogen or methane = C6H12O6 (sugar)
