Study Notes
Five Kingdoms
- The five kingdoms classified in biology are Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Monera.
Animal Kingdom
- Comprised of invertebrates (without backbones) and vertebrates (with backbones).
- Multicellular organisms, lacking cell walls.
- Energy obtained through respiration.
Plant Kingdom
- Includes multicellular organisms with cell walls.
- Energy acquisition occurs through photosynthesis.
- Examples include mosses, ferns, flowering plants, and seeds.
Fungi Kingdom
- Organisms have cell walls but do not photosynthesize (not green).
- Nutritional method involves breaking down organic materials.
- Includes mushrooms, molds, and yeasts.
Protist Kingdom
- Displays a vast diversity of forms.
- Some protists are animal-like (e.g., amoeba, paramecium, protozoan), while others are plant-like (e.g., algae) and fungi-like.
- Includes both single-celled and multicellular organisms.
Classification Hierarchy
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Class: Mammalia
- Order: Primata
- Family: Hominidae
- Genus: Homo
- Species: sapiens (the species name is not capitalized)
Classification Groups
- The next smallest classification group after Order is Family.
- The smallest classification group is Species.
Naming and Classification
- Every living organism's name consists of its Genus and Species.
- The first letter of a Genus name is capitalized.
- The first letter of every Species name is written in lowercase.
- Binomial Nomenclature refers to the two-part naming system used for species classification.
Order of Binomial Nomenclature
- The sequence of classification is:
- Kingdom
- Phylum (Chordata)
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
