- Modern classification is structured hierarchically with levels: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Historical Contributions
- Linnaeus is recognized as the father of modern taxonomy, establishing the seven taxonomic levels for organism classification.
Organism Characteristics
- Protists are unicellular organisms that are motile and contain chloroplasts.
- The Monera Kingdom includes prokaryotic organisms such as Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
- Escherichia is classified under the Genus category.
Classification Criteria
- Structural features are essential for categorizing organisms into distinct kingdoms.
- An organism that is multicellular, non-photosynthetic, absorbs nutrients, and has eukaryotic cells with cell walls is classified in the Fungi Kingdom.
Scientific Evolution
- Modern classification systems are dynamic and can adapt to incorporate new scientific discoveries.
Organizational Simplicity
- Among organisms, sponges exhibit the least specialized cellular organization.
Human Classification
- The scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens.
