Taxonomy
![Page 2: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
I. TaxonomyA. Definition – the classification and
naming of living organismsB. Purpose – to help organize and
understand informationC. History
1. In the beginning, two groups classified
(a) Plants(b) Animals
![Page 3: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
2. In 400 B.C. Aristotle (a Greek philosopher)
(a) Was the first to classify animals into three groups
(1) Land dwellers
(2) Air dwellers
(3) Water dwellers
![Page 4: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
(b) Was the first to classify plants into three groups
(1) Short stem
(2) Medium stem
(3) Tall stem
(c) Too general and not very scientific
(d) Worked until the invention of the microscope
![Page 5: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3. In the 1600’s, John Ray (naturalist)
(a) Used the term species – group of organisms structurally
similar and passes similarities on to offspring
(b) Used the term genus – closely related species; Ex.: Feline
4. Carolus Linnaeus – the father of taxonomy, established the modern day classification of organisms
![Page 6: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
D. Modern day classification
1.Domain
2. Kingdom – broadest category (6)
3. Phylum
4. Class
5. Order
6. Family
7. Genus
8. Species – the narrowest
(no two species are the same)
![Page 7: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
E. Naming of Organisms1. Nomenclature – system for
naming organisms(a) Linnaeus used John Ray’s
genus and species term to name organisms
(b) Each organism has a genus name and a single Latin species name
![Page 8: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
(c) Latin is a dead language so it will never change like English does
(d) inu – perro – dog – or to scientists: Canine
domesticus(e) No two species could be
described by the same Latin word
![Page 9: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Binomial Nomenclature – a two-word system used to identify and name organisms
(a) This is an organism’s scientific name
(b) Ex.: Carcharodon carcharias
great white shark
(c) We know most animals by their common name
![Page 10: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3. Scientific Name – must include both the genus and species names
(a) must be written as follows:
1st – the genus name is capitalized
2nd – the species name is lower-cased
3rd – both names must be underlined or written in italics
![Page 11: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
(b) Ex.: Delphinus delphis –
dolphin
Orcinus orca –
killer whale
Physalia physalis –
Portuguese man-o-war
(c) Scientific names are needed because not all common names are the same
![Page 12: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
II. The Five KingdomsA. Kingdom Monera
(Eubacteria and Archaebacteria)
1. Marine representatives – true bacteria
& cyanobacteria (Blue-green algae)
2. Characteristics of Monerans(a) Most primitive group of organisms
(b) Prokaryotes – no nucleus, lacks cell “stuff”
![Page 13: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
(c) Unicellular
(d) Asexual reproduction
(e) Oldest life form
3. Function
(a) Bacteria – converts “waste” into edible food; decomposers
(b) Cyanobacteria – photosynthetic; produces O2; (not a plant = its unicellular)
![Page 14: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

C. Subkingdom Tracheophyta (flowering plants)
1. General information
(a) very few marine species
(b) have seeds “flower” (Thallophytes do not have seeds)
(c) true rooted
![Page 36: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
2. Types of Tracheophytes (both types in division angiosperms)
(a) Grasses
1) found in shallow waters close to land
2) “surf grass”; “turtle grass”; “sea grass” & “manatee grass”
3) rooted into ground
![Page 37: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
(b) Mangrove trees
1) only in tropics & warm waters
2) totally marine adapted
3) very sturdy due to root growth
4) roots very complex – acts as an anchor & a “straw” to “suck” up water & nutrients
5) roots need aeration, so only grow in intertidal zone
![Page 38: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

6) home to many marine animals that live only among the mangrove roots
7) can with stand most storms, rarely uprooted
3. Importance(a) food for marine animals(b) provide cover for marine
animals(c) act as nursery
![Page 43: Taxonomy. I. Taxonomy A. Definition – the classification and naming of living organisms B. Purpose – to help organize and understand information C. History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e255503460f94b13d8c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
(d) act as a giant “filter system” (roots suck up nutrients & some pollution)
(e) keeps area from “suffocating” by sucking up nutrients
(f) grasses keep silt from “filtering” off land into ocean
