biology /taxonomy

Aristotle

-classified organisms into plants and animals
-first

Carolus Linnaeus

-grouped organism into different hierarchy levels

hierarchical levels

-kingdom
-phylum
-class
-order
-family
-genus
-species

the 3 classification system (modern)

-Archaebacteria
-eubacteria
-eukaryotic

5 classification system (classic)

-monera
-animelia
-plante
-fungi
-protista

6 classification system (in between)

-archaebacteria
-eubacteria
-animelia
-plante
-fungi
-protista

binomial nomenclature

-system of naming organisms based on their Genus followed by the species name
-both italics
-genus is capitalized
-species is lower case

dichotomous key

several pairs of deceptive statements that have only two alternative responses (way to identify unknown organism)

Kingdom Monera

-archaebacteria & eubacteria
-prokaryotic
- absorption, photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
-mostly asexual
-over 5000 different species
-greatest # of living things

Kingdom Protista

-eukaryotic
-organisms lack specialized tissue system(no organ system)
-unicellular & multicellular
-ingestion, absorption or photosynthesis
-asexual and sexual
-50,000 species
-algae and protozoan are common members of this kingdom

Kingdom Fungi

-eukaryotic
-multicellular & unicellular
-heterotrophs
-sexual & asexual
-over 100,000 species
-mushrooms, molds & yeasts are common examples

Kingdom Plantae

-consist of plants
-autotrophic
-multicellular
-sexual & asexual
-350000 species

Kingdom Animalia

-eukaryotic
-heterotrophs
-ingest food
-sexually (99%)
-more than 1 million
(more than 1 mil nestle species)

What are archaebacteria?

Prokaryotes that live in harsh conditions with little sunlight & oxygen (hot springs, deep sea).

what are eubacteria?

common bacteria

Autotroph

Organisms that make their own food

Heterotroph

organism that obtains energy from the foods it consumes; also called a consumer

Chemotrophs

Organisms that get energy from chemicals taken from the environment

Phototrophs

obtain energy from light

Decomposer

organism that breaks down and obtains energy from dead organic matter
