Study Notes
Classification and Taxonomy
- The largest group of organisms is the Kingdom, which encompasses numerous species.
- Scientific names of organisms are determined by their Genus and species classifications.
- The modern classification system was developed by Carl Linnaeus.
- The field of classifying and naming living organisms is known as Taxonomy.
Kingdoms and Organism Characteristics
- Archaebacteria contains extremophiles, organisms that thrive in extreme environments.
- Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are classified as multicellular and heterotrophic, meaning they cannot produce their own food.
- The six kingdoms of life include Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
Domains and Classification Levels
- There are three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
- The eight levels of biological classification, from smallest to largest, are: Species, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Domain.
Autotrophic and Unicellular Organisms
- The Protista kingdom includes unicellular autotrophic organisms, capable of photosynthesis.
- Plants and animals are both classified as eukaryotic organisms, sharing complex cellular structures.
Scientific Naming and Relationships
- The scientific classification system is referred to as Binomial nomenclature, which assigns two names (Genus and species) to each organism.
- Canis lupus refers to the wolf, with "lupus" being the species name.
- Cladograms are diagrams used to illustrate the relationships between various organisms based on their evolutionary history.
Classifications and Relationships
- If two organisms belong to the same phylum, they must also share the same kingdom classification.
