Study Notes
Classification System
- There are various reasons to classify living organisms, including grouping and understanding the diversity of life on Earth.
- Classification helps in identifying and distinguishing between different species.
Kingdoms and Classification Hierarchy
- The classification system consists of kingdoms, which are divided into smaller groups called phyla.
- Organisms with similar characteristics are classified into the same phylum.
- Each phylum is further divided into classes, orders, families, genera, and species.
Remembering the Classification Hierarchy
- A diagram can be used to remember the order of classification: Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species.
- Mnemonics can also be used to remember the classification hierarchy.
