Study Notes
Levels of Classification
- Kingdom is the broadest level of biological classification.
- Class follows phylum in the hierarchical classification system.
- Family is the classification level between order and genus.
- Taxonomy is the branch of science that classifies organisms, including naming and categorization.
- Species represents the most specific category in classification.
- Order comes after class in the classification hierarchy.
- Classification organizes organisms into categories based on shared characteristics.
- Genus is the classification level that follows family.
Classification Systems
- Binomial nomenclature uses a two-word format for organism naming: genus name followed by species name.
- Phylum is the classification level that comes after kingdom.
Biological Kingdoms
- Archaea includes ancient bacteria that can survive in extreme environments.
- Plantae is the kingdom comprising multicellular plants.
- Animalia consists of complex multicellular organisms, primarily heterotrophic (consume their own food).
- Fungi are complex organisms that absorb nutrients from their environment.
- Bacteria refers to kingdoms containing simple unicellular organisms.
- Protista includes unicellular organisms that are more complex than bacteria and archaea.
