Who is Swedish botanist created common classification system of _________? | Carl Linnaeus, Taxonomy |
What are the 7 classification system? | 1. Kingdom 2. Phylum 3. Class 4. Order 5. Family 6. Genus 7. Species |
Describe Kingdom? | It is broadest level, contains most of organisms, members share few characteristics. |
Describe Phylum? | Next major taxonomic group. Within the Kingdoms, organisms are divided into phyla by general characteristics. EX. Animal Kingdom, animals with backbones (Vertebrates) are placed in separate phyulum from animals without backbones. |
Describe Class? | Organisms in phylum are divided into class. EX. birds, mammals and fish all go in their own classes. Among plants, all flowering plants comprise the ANGIOSPERM CLASS. all CONIFERS such as pines and spruces comprise CONIFER CLASS. |
Describe Family ? | Families divided further from Class, same class by similar characteristics. |
Describe Genus? | Two or more species that share unique body structures or other characteristics are closely related enough to be placed in a single genus. Genus may include single species. |
Describe Species? | A species is the most specific level, so it contains the fewest types of organisms. Same species with very similar characteristics. |
Describe Kingdom Animalia? | This kingdom includes all animals |
Describe Phylum Chordata? | All vertebrate animals belong to the phylum Chordata. |

Which kingdom humans belong to? | Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, class mammalia, the order primata, the family Hominidae, The genus Homo, Species Sapiens. |
What are the FIVE Kingdoms? | 1.Animals 2.Plants 3.Monerans 4.Protists 5.Fungi |
Explain Animal Kingdom | One of two largest kingdom, no cell wall,chlorophyll,photosynthesis. BUT can move, many cells, 1,000,000 species |
Explain Plant Kingdom | one of two largest kingdom. Can't move, no nervous or sensory system (Execpt Venus Flytrap) |

What does Central Nervous system do? | Recieves, processes, responds to all physical stimuli |
What does Circulatory system do? | Delivers oxygenate blood from heart-blood back to heart |
What does Digestive system do? | Breaks down food into smaller substance |
What does Musculoskeletal system do? | Bones support the body muscles and organs |
What does respiratory system do? | Inhales air, uses t he oxygen in the air to release energy and exhales the carbon dioxide. |
What are three cell structures? | 1. Nucleus 2. Cytoplasm 3. Cell membrane (plasma membrane) |
Explain cell structure, Nucleus | controls cellular activity, like brain behind the cell such as DNA |
Explain Cell structure, Cytoplasm | gel-like substance, composed mostly of water inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus. Contains many chemicals that carry out the life processes in the cell. |
Explain Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane) | This thin membrane holds the cell together, protecting the nucleus and cytoplasm |
_____ Cell have a firm cell wall that supports and protects the cell. _____ cell don't have such structure. | Plant, Animal |
