Study Notes
Classification of Living Organisms
- Millions of different organisms exist on Earth
- Scientists organize organisms into groups based on shared characteristics
- This process is called classification or sorting

- Wrap-up: Review and summary
Why Classify Living Things?
- To organize and understand the vast diversity of life
- To identify similarities and differences between organisms.
How Are Organisms Classified?
- Organisms are grouped based on shared characteristics
- It involves different taxonomic ranks.
Taxonomic Ranks
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
Classification of a Dog
- Domain: Animalia
- Kingdom: Animalia

Cats and Dogs Classification
- Cats and dogs share similarities at certain taxonomic levels.
- Similarity can be seen in the levels of class, order, and phylum.
Habitat
- A habitat is a place where an organism lives and finds all the conditions necessary for survival.
- These conditions include resources for food, selecting a mate, and reproduction.
Do Habitats Affect Classification?
- The habitat of a living thing may affect the way it is positioned taxonomically.
How Can Species Interact?
- Species can interact in various ways, including predation, competition, and symbiosis.
