For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth
There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species still waiting to be discovered
With the discovery of new species classification of organisms is constantly being modified
The goal is to track evolution and determine which organisms share common ancestors
![Page 3: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A simple system of naming organisms allows anyone in the world to discuss the same creature regardless of its common name
For example....

But, Carolus Linnaeus calls him....

Linnaeus classified organisms according to their structural similarities: this is called TAXONOMY
Each group to which Linnaeus assigned organisms is called a TAXA (singular is TAXON)
Modern taxonomy groups based on their evolutionary relatedness: this is called PHYLOGENY
Organisms share common ancestry if they show similar stages of embryological development and anatomical structures.

The 18th century Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus simplified the system of naming and classifying organisms
The system, known as
binomial nomenclature is still in use today!
What are the two parts?!
Let’s find out......

Note that the first name describes its similarity to other organisms while the second describes its uniqueness
![Page 11: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The taxon “species” is the smallest group and it contains only a single type of organism.
The organisms in a species are most like one another—except for sexual or growth stage differences, the individuals of a species have the same body or physiological morphology.
![Page 12: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Organisms in the same species can interbreed to produce viable offspring.

These cannot....

Similar species are grouped in the same genus Example: the bobcat and the housecat are in the
genus Felis
![Page 15: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Genera are grouped to form families. This group’s family is Felidae
![Page 16: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Families are grouped into Orders. These organisms are in the order Carnivora
![Page 17: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Orders are then placed in Classes. These organisms are in the class Mammalia
![Page 18: For hundreds of years people have been trying to classify the species on our planet Earth There are potentially hundreds of thousands new species.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdb5503460f949a509a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Classes are grouped into Phyla. These organisms are in the phyla Chordata in the Kingdom Animalia

How Many Kingdoms?!

Classifying KingdomsNutrition Heterotrophic
-consumes living or dead organisms to obtain energy
Autotrophic-uses sun’s energy-makes own food
# of cells Unicellular-one cell
Multicellular-more than one cell
Reproduction
Asexual-offspring produced from a single parent (genetically identical to parent
Sexual-production of offspring from fusion of 2 sex cells (offspring differ from parents)

Classifying KingdomsHabitat -where does the
organism live?
Cell Type
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
-circular chromosome-no membrane bound organelles (e.g. no true nucleus)-very small (less than 2 um)-reproduce by binary fission
-double stranded chromosomes in nucleus-membrane bound organelles
-larger (10-100 um)
-reproduce by mitosis or meiosis
