Study Notes
Taxonomy
- The branch of biology that deals with the classification of organisms is taxonomy.
- Carolus Linnaeus is known as the 'Father of Taxonomy'.
Naming Organisms
- A two-part name used in taxonomy to uniquely identify an organism is called a binomial nomenclature.
- Binomial nomenclature is significant in biological classification as it provides a universal and consistent way to identify organisms.
Taxonomic Ranks
- The main taxonomic ranks used in biological classification are: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
- Domain is NOT one of the main taxonomic ranks used in biological classification.
Purpose of Biological Classification
- The purpose of biological classification is to group organisms based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
Assigning Taxonomic Groups
- The primary consideration in assigning an organism to a particular taxonomic group is its evolutionary relationships and shared characteristics.
Taxonomic Hierarchy
- Genus is a more specific level of biological classification than family.
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics primarily deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy.
- Thermodynamics is the branch of physics concerned with energy and entropy.
- In addition to heat and temperature, pressure is also related to thermodynamics.
- Thermodynamics studies the aspect of matter that deals with energy and its interactions.
