Study Notes
- Initial classifications were done out of a need to use organisms.
- This was not done using scientific methods.
- Classification systems for living organisms have changed over time.
- Plant and animal kingdoms are constant under all systems of classifications.
- Understanding of what groups should be included in kingdoms keeps changing.
- The numbers and nature of other kingdoms is understood differently by different scientists.
Biological Classification
- Kingdom Monera
- Kingdom Protista
- Kingdom Fungi
- Kingdom Plantae
- Kingdom Animalia
- Virus, Viroids, Lichens and Mycorrhiza
History of Taxonomy
- Aristotle is known as the Father of Biology & Zoology
- Aristotle classified plants based on morphological character growth habit into herbs, shrubs and trees first.
- Theophrastus is known as Father of ancient plant taxonomy and botany
- Theophrastus classified the plant kingdom into four groups based on growth habit:
- Trees
- Shrubs
- Under shrubs
- Herbs
- Carolus Linnaeus's real name was Carl Von Linne
- He changed his name to Carolus Linnaeus based on his work in Latin
- Linnaeus is known as Father of taxonomy, Father of plant taxonomy and Father of animal taxonomy, binomial system and classification science
- Linnaeus introduced the Two Kingdom classification, grouping plants into Kingdom Plantae and animals into Kingdom Animalia based on the presence of a cell wall
Demerits of Two Kingdom Classification
- Prokaryotes such as bacteria and blue-green algae, and eukaryotes such as fungi, mosses/bryophytes, fern/pteridophytes, gymnosperm, and angiosperm were placed in the same group: plants/plantae
- The unifying characteristic of this kingdom was that all organisms included had a cell wall
