Study Notes
Classification of Living Organisms
- Living organisms are classified based on similarities and differences in characteristics.
- Organisms are grouped into separate categories according to shared traits.
- Classification helps to understand the relationships between organisms.
Five Kingdom System
- Organisms are organized into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
- These kingdoms are differentiated based on their structural, functional, and other features.
Monera
- Single-celled organisms.
- Includes bacteria.
- Some bacteria can produce their own food.
- Some cause diseases.
Protista
- Mostly single-celled organisms.
- Includes amoeba, paramecium, and algae.
- Some have chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
Fungi
- Some are single-celled.
- Many have filament-like structures.
- Cannot produce their own food.
- They absorb nutrients from their surroundings.
- Examples include yeast, molds, and mushrooms.
Plantae
- Multicellular organisms.
- Contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
- Make their own food.
- Examples include flowering plants and ferns.
Animalia
- Multicellular organisms.
- Cannot produce their own food.
- They obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms.
- Examples include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.
Classification of Vertebrates
- Vertebrates have a backbone and internal skeleton.
- They include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
- Each group has specific characteristics.
Classification of Invertebrates
- Invertebrates do not have backbones.
- Major groups include sponges, worms, insects, mollusks, and echinoderms.
- Unique characteristics for each group.
Biodiversity
- Biodiversity is the variety of life in a particular area.
- Extinct organisms are no longer found.
- Endangered organisms are at risk of extinction.
- Important to conserve biodiversity.
- Human activities can negatively impact biodiversity (e.g., deforestation, excessive hunting).
- There are conservation measures for endangered species (e.g., game reserves, national parks).
