Study Notes
Classification of Organisms
- Animalia: Includes multicellular, heterotrophic organisms; example: dog.
- Plantae: Multicellular, autotrophic organisms with cell walls; example: Venus fly trap.
- Fungi: Multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophic and have cell walls; example: mushroom.
- Eubacteria: Unicellular prokaryotes found in diverse environments; example: E. coli.
- Archaebacteria: Unicellular prokaryotes that thrive in extreme environments; example: halophile.
- Protists: Unicellular eukaryotes commonly found in freshwater habitats; example: giant kelp.
Characteristics of Biological Kingdoms
- Eubacteria: Unicellular prokaryotes that often inhabit water ecosystems.
- Protists: Unicellular eukaryotic organisms typically found in pond water.
- Animalia: Multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic and widespread across the planet.
- Archaebacteria: Unicellular prokaryotes adapted to extreme conditions like volcanic ash.
- Fungi: Multicellular eukaryotes with heterotrophic nutrition and cell walls.
- Plantae: Multicellular eukaryotes that utilize photosynthesis, possessing cell walls.
Taxonomy and Relationships
- Closest relatives of the tiger are the jaguar and lion within the Panthera genus.
- Rania concolor would not resemble a mountain lion due to differing genus names.
- The house cat (Felis catus) is closely related to the mountain lion (Felis concolor).
Taxonomic Hierarchy
- Hierarchical levels include: Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species.
Organizational Patterns in Taxonomy
- Kingdoms group the most organisms collectively, followed by Phylum when comparing taxonomic pairs.
- Order contains more organisms than Class, and Class includes more organisms than Family.
- Genus encompasses more organisms than Species, reflecting a broader categorization in taxonomy.
