Study Notes

Classification of Living Organisms

Why classify?: To understand relationships between organisms, identify patterns, and communicate effectively about the diversity of life.

Hierarchical System of Classification

Domain: Highest level, divides life into 3 domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
Kingdom: Divides life into 6 kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Chromista, and Monera
Phylum (or Division in Plantae): Groups organisms based on body structure and development
Class: Groups organisms based on physical characteristics and evolutionary relationships
Order: Groups organisms based on evolutionary relationships and shared characteristics
Family: Groups organisms based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships
Genus: Groups organisms based on close evolutionary relationships
Species: Most specific level, represents a distinct type of organism

Binomial Nomenclature

Two-part naming system: Genus + species (e.g., Homo sapiens)
Genus (capitalized): Represents the genus of the organism
Species (not capitalized): Represents the species of the organism
