Aristotle
one of the first people to classify organisms; he classified things as animals or plants
Carolous Linnaeus
developed a classification system that grouped organisms based on similar physical structures
Linnaeus classification system
has many related levels, the largest group is a kingdom and the smallest group is a species
species
a group of organisms that have the greatest number of traits in common and can breed and produce fertile offspring
species name
the two word scientific name of an organism, the first word is the genus of a species
genus
groups of similar species belong to this
family
groups of similar genera belong to this
order
groups of similar families belong to this
class
groups of similar orders belong to this
phylum
groups of similar classes belong to this
kingdom
groups of similar phyla belong to this in the Linnaeus classification system
six kingdoms
Eubacteria, Archeabacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
domain
a new level of classification the developed because of molecular biology, this now replaces the kingdom
three domains
Simple Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
What's the cell type of Simple Bacteria?
Prokaryote
NAme to describe the cellular structure of Eubacteria
Unicellular
Eubacteria obtain there food
Autotroph or heterotroph
Examples of Eubacteria Kingdom
-Streptocococus
-E-coli
The name of the domain that Archaebacteria belong
Archaea
The name of the kingdom that Archaea belong
Archaebacteria
Examples of Archaebacteria
-Methanogens
-Halophiles
The domain that Animals belong to
Eukarya
The first kingdom that belongs to the domain Eukarya
Protista
Examples of Protist
-Amoeba Paramecium
-Slime molds
-Giant kelp
Examples of Fungi
-Mushrooms
-Yeasts
Examples of plants
-Mosses
-Ferns
-Flowering plants
What is the cell type of Animals
Eukaryote
Number of cells in fungi
Multicellular
Examples of animals
-Sponges
-Worms
-Insects
-Fishes
-Mammals
Archaea
One of two prokaryotic domains, the other being Bacteria.
Autotroph
Organisms that make their own food
Bacteria
single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus; prokaryotes
blue-green algae
cyanobacteria
Eukaryote
organism whose cells contain a nucleus
Flagellum
A long, whiplike structure that helps a cell to move
Heterotroph
An organism that cannot make its own food.
Prokaryote
unicellular organism lacking a nucleus
taxonomic key
Used to identify the identity of an orgainsm
Taxonomy
The scientific Study of how living things are classified
Scientific Name
Two part name made up of the genus and the species name. Genus written first species second
Domain
Broadest most general group of organisms
ability to make food
one characteristic that is used to place an organism in a kingdom
What kingdom only has multicellular heterotrophs
Animal
Which domain(s) are only prokaryote
Archaea and Simple Bacteria
