The document describes the hierarchical classification system developed by Carolus Linnaeus. It outlines the different levels of the classification including kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Organisms are grouped together based on shared characteristics and each smaller group is contained within a larger group, with organisms more closely related the more classification levels they share.

18. a. Sub or Super
added to Levels to
form more groups:
• Superclass
• Class
• Subclass
d. Group names come from
trait used to form group:
• Phylum Arthropoda
“jointed legged animals”
• Phylum Echinodermata
“spiny skin animals”
f. Each group comes from the
group before it

19. a. The more groups
organisms are placed in
together the:
• More traits they have in common
• More closely the organisms
are related
