Study Notes
Classification
- Biology organizes living things into groups called taxonomic groups
- These groups are called taxons
- There are 7 important taxons: Kingdom, Phylum/Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species
- Kingdom is the largest taxon
- Species is the smallest taxon
The 5 Kingdoms
- All organisms belong to one of 5 kingdoms
- Bacteria, Protist, Fungi, Animal, and Plants
Protists
- Single-celled or multicellular organisms with a nucleus
- Some are useful, others are harmful
Bacteria
- Microscopic, single-celled organisms without a nucleus
- Have cell walls and membranes
- Reproduce by division
- Can be shaped as rods, spheres, or spirals
- Some are useful, others are harmful
Fungi
- Single-celled or multicellular organisms with cell walls and membranes
- Have a nucleus
- Obtain food by absorbing it
- Reproduce by division or spores
- Some are useful (e.g., antibiotics, yeast), others are harmful
Animals
- Multicellular organisms with cell membranes and nuclei
- Obtain food by consuming it
- Reproduce sexually
- Divided into invertebrates (without backbones) and vertebrates (with backbones)
Plants
- Have cell walls and membranes, and a nucleus
- Can create their own food using chloroplasts
- Reproduce asexually and can make spores or seeds
- Divided into flowering and non-flowering plants
