Unit 10 classification

Bellringer: Monday, March 17, 2014
What is the name of this animal?
a. Puma
b. Cougar
c. Mountain lion
d. Panther
All of the above…these are
common names for the same
animal.

Objective
•We will define and recognize the
importance of taxonomy

What is the impact of having misleading names?
Anticipatory Set

To avoid confusion caused by
regional names, biologists use a
classification system to group
organisms in an organized and
logical manner and to assign names.

What is taxonomy?
•It’s the science of naming
and classifying organisms.

What is Classification?
It’s the grouping of objects
or information on the basis
of similarities.

The classification system:
• Domain Dear
• Kingdom King
• Phylum Philip
• Class came
• Order over
• Family from
• Genus Great
• Species Spain

Hierarchical
Classification
• Taxonomic categories
• Kingdom includes all the
phyla
• Phylum includes all the
classes
• Class includes all the
orders
• Order includes all the
families
• Family includes all the
genera
• Genus includes all the
species
• Species
Each level is
called a taxon

Human Classification
• Domain Eukarya
• Kingdom Animalia
• Phylum Chordata
• Class Mammalia
• Order Primates
• Family Hominidae
• Genus Homo
• Species sapiens

Work with your partner to create your own
pneumonic for remembering the levels of
classification:
• D
• K
• P
• C
• O
• F
• G
• S

Carl Linnaeus
•a.k.a. Father of
Taxonomy
•Linnaeus developed
the two-word
naming
system…binomial
nomenclature.

Binomial Nomenclature
•Two-word naming system (scientific name)
•Bi means 2/nomial means name
•Written in Latin
•1st word represents Genus
• Written capitalized, underlined or Italicized
•2nd word represents Species
• Written lower Case, underlined or Italicized

dog
Mountain lionfox
wolf
What are some ways these
animals are similar and what are
some ways they are different?
All belong to the same Kingdom: Animalia
Same phylum: Chordata
Same class: Mammalia
Same order: Carnivora
Dog, wolf, fox all belong to the same family: Canidae
Dog and wolf belong to same genus: Canis
Dog and wolf are different species

Dogs of different “breeds” all belong
to the same species
Canis familiaris; therefore all can mate
and produce fertile offspring.

According to the table, at what level does
the domestic cat diverge from the ferret?
(diverge means break away from)

•Practice using binomial nomenclature by writing
your first and last name correctly.
•Also, write the first and last name of 2 friends in
class correctly.

• Trade with the person next to you
• Grade their samples of their binomial
nomenclature
• Provide feedback if they need more work

the correct scientific
name of this organism?

Objective
•We will identify and compare the
characteristics of Kingdoms
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.

Domains and Kingdoms
BacteriaArchaea Eukarya
BacteriaArchae Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia
The three-domain system
The six-kingdom system

Vocabulary
1. Multicellular – many cells
2. Unicellular – one cell
3. Prokaryote- no nucleus
4. Eukaryote- has a nucleus
5. Autotroph – makes its own food
6. Heterotroph – consumes (takes in) food
7. Sexual – male and female make a different offspring
8. Asexual – not sexual, identical copy
9. Decomposer- breaks down dead stuff
10. Chitin- in cell wall of fungi
11. Motile - moves
12. Sessile – doesn’t move

Kingdom Archaebacteria
• The OLD bacteria
• Live in extreme habitats
• Unicellular
• Prokaryotic
• Heterotrophic and chemotrophic
• Asexual

Examples of Archaebacteria:
1. methanogens
-produce methane: found in intestines
and sewage plants
2. halophiles
-love and live and salt
3. thermophiles
-love and live in extreme temperatures

Kingdom Archaebacteria
• Archaebacteria can live deep
in the ocean near geothermal
vents called black smokers
• There is no light, so they carry
out chemosynthesis instead of
photosynthesis

Kingdom Eubacteria
• The NEW bacteria
• Live in a wide variety of habitats, including other
organisms
• Unicellular
• Prokaryotic
• Heterotrophic, autotrophic, and chemotrophic
• Asexual

Examples of Eubacteria:
1. cyanobacteria
-blue/green bacteria that
chloroplasts evolved from
2. good bacteria
-probiotics
3. bad bacteria
-strep, staph, chlamydia

Guided practice- create a booklet
• Number each page at the bottom right corner (front and back)
• Create a cover for your 6 kingdoms booklet (pg 1)
• On page 2 do the following:
• Write “Kingdom Archaebacteria” at the top
• Include the characteristics from your chart for this kingdom
• Type of cell, feeding type, cell number, reproduction
• Give a description and draw a picture for each example
• Methanogens, halophiles, thermophiles
• Describe this kingdom in your own words
• Write “Kingdom Eubacteria” at the top

Bellringer: Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Explain the similarities and
differences between the kingdoms
archaebacteria and eubacteria

Objective
characteristics of Kingdoms Protista and
Fungi

Kingdom Protista
• The “leftover” group
• Similar to bacteria but are very complex
• Eukaryotic
• Mostly unicellular
• Autotrophic and heterotrophic

for movement. All aquatic
2. algae (plant like): the green stuff
3. slime molds
(fungi like):
4. euglena (bacteria-like): use flagella and
have an “eye”

Kingdom Fungi
• Eukaryotic
• Most are multicellular
• Heterotrophic (decomposers)
• Cell walls made of chitin
• Do NOT move. Live on or in their food.
• Nutrients absorbed after extracellular digestion
• Asexual
• spores

Examples of Fungi:
mildew
Bread mold
Shelf or bracket fungi
YEASTMushrooms
Mildew
Ringworm
Athlete’s foot

• Write “Kingdom Protista” at the top
• Include the characteristics from your chart for this
kingdom
• Euglena, amoeba, slime molds, algae

Objective
•We will categorize organisms using a
dichotomous key

What is a dichotomous key
• It is a tool used to determine the identity of an
organism
• Usually asks yes or no questions

How do you use a
Dichotomous Key
• Always gives you two choices
• Examine your organism and determine which of the
2 choices it fits the best
• Follow the steps
• Keep classifying until you get to the genus and
species of the organism
