Study Notes
Classification Levels
- Eight levels of classification: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Animalia Kingdom Characteristics
- Organisms are multi-cellular, heterotrophic, and eukaryotic.
Plantae Kingdom Characteristics
- Organisms are multi-cellular, autotrophic (perform photosynthesis), possess cell walls and chloroplasts, and are eukaryotic.
Protista Kingdom Characteristics
- Organisms can be multi-cellular or unicellular, eukaryotic, and display movement via flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
Archaea and Bacteria Domains
- Organisms are unicellular and prokaryotic, lacking a nucleus.
Prokaryotic Cell Features
- Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.
Classification Definition
- The action of grouping organisms or items based on shared characteristics.
Importance of Classification
- Simplifies the study of organisms, making research and learning easier.
Broadest Level of Classification
- The most general classification level is the Domain.
Eukaryotic Cells
- Defined as cells that contain a nucleus.
Eukaryotic Kingdoms
- Organisms with eukaryotic cells belong to four kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista.
Relatedness in Classification
- Organisms sharing more classification levels are more closely related.
Decomposers Definition
- Fungi serve as decomposers by digesting organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the soil.
Fungi Characteristics
- Organisms are multi-cellular, heterotrophic, and eukaryotic.
Heterotrophs Definition
- Organisms that cannot synthesize their own food.
Mnemonic for Classification
- "Did King Philip Come Over For Green Soup?" serves as a mnemonic for remembering classification levels.
Chlorophyll Role
- A pigment responsible for giving leaves their green coloration.
Scientific Naming Convention
- The first word in a scientific name indicates the Genus, while the second word specifies the Species.
