Name_____________________ Classification Review Sheet Question Answer What is classification? Classification is the arrangement of organisms in orderly groups based on their similarities. Which scientist discovered the Carolus Linnaeus discovered the process of process of classifying organisms? classifying organisms. What is taxonomy? Taxonomy is the science of identifying, classifying and naming living organisms. How are organisms classified? Organisms are classified based on shared characteristics and their relationships with one another. List the 8 levels of classification Domain from general to specific. Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species What is binomial nomenclature? Binomial nomenclature is the two part naming system used to give scientific names to organisms. Describe the parts of the 2 part The two part naming system is in Latin. The first naming system. name is the genus and it is capitalized. The second name is species and it is lowercase. What are the 3 domains? The 3 domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Describe the characteristics of - Unicellular Domain Archaea. - Prokaryotic (simple cells, no nucleus) - Reproduce asexually through binary fission - Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs - Oldest species of organisms on Earth - Exotic metabolisms - Live in extreme environments Describe the characteristics of - Unicellular Domain Bacteria - Prokaryotic (simple cells, no nucleus) - Reproduce asexually through binary fission - Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs - Known for causing illness Describe the characteristics of - Unicellular or multicellular Domain Eukarya. - Eukaryotic (complex cells, with nucleus and cell parts) - Reproduce asexually or sexually - Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs What is a taxonomic key? A taxonomic key is a tool used to name and organize organisms. How many kingdoms are there? There are 6 kingdoms. There are Archaebacteria, Name them. Eubacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plant, and Animal. Describe the difference between a A prokaryotic cell is a simple cell with no nucleus prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell. and no membrane bound organelles. (Archaea and Bacteria) A eukaryotic cell is a complex cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. (Eukarya) Which kingdoms have prokaryotic Archaebacteria, Bacteria cells? Which kingdoms have eukaryotic Protist, Fungi, Plant, Animal cells? Which kingdoms have unicellular Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Fungi - only organisms? yeast Which kingdoms have multicellular Fungi, Plant, Animal organisms? Describe the difference between an An autotroph makes its own food (also known as autotroph and a heterotroph. a producer). -​ Photoautotroph = makes its own food through photosynthesis -​ Chemoautotroph = makes its own food through chemicals A heterotroph must consume food from an outside source (also known as a consumer). -​ Decomposer = breaks down dead or decaying matter -​ Scavenger = eats dead organisms Which kingdoms are made up of Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Plant autotrophs? Which kingdoms are made up of Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Fungi - heterotrophs? decomposer, Animal Which kingdoms reproduce Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Fungi, Plant, asexually? Animal - very basic organisms Which kingdoms reproduce sexually? Fungi, Plant, Animal Compare and contrast kingdom fungi They are both multicellular and have eukaryotic and plants. cells. Fungi have cell walls made of chitin, are heterotrophs, and reproduce sexually. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, are autotrophs, and reproduce asexually and sexually. Which kingdom has organisms that Archaebacteria live in extreme environments? Which kingdom has organisms that Eubacteria can make you sick? Which kingdom has organisms that Protists obtain energy in many different ways. obtain energy in many different Protists that are autotrophs get energy through ways? Explain. the sun and are “plant-like”. Protists that are heterotrophs and get energy by breaking down dead or decaying matter are “fungi-like”. Protists that are heterotrophs and get energy by eating other organisms are “animal-like”. Describe the difference between a A producer makes their own food while consumers producer and a consumer. must obtain their food from an outside source. Name each kingdom and give 3 facts Archaebacteria about each -​ Unicellular, Prokaryotic, Asexual, Live in Extreme Environments Eubacteria -​ Unicellular, Prokaryotic, Asexual, Cause Illness Protists -​ Unicellular, Eukaryotic, Asexual, Classified by the Way They Obtain Energy Fungi -​ Multicellular (except Yeast), Eukaryotic, Mostly Sexual, Heterotrophs (Decomposers) Plant -​ Multicellular, Eukaryotic, Asexual or Sexual, Autotrophs Animal -​ Multicellular, Eukaryotic, Sexual, Heterotrophs
