Ch. 9 Classification
Ch. 9 Classification and Kingdoms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Classification | The division of organisms into groups, or classes, based on specific characteristics |
| Taxonomy | the science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms |
| Genus | The first part of the scientific name, begins with a capital letter |
| Species | The second part of the scientific name, begins with a lower case letter- any organism that can mate and produce fertile offspring |
| Binomial nomenclature | Two part name, genus and species |
| Taxonomic/Dichotomous Key | Give two pairs of statements to identify an organism |
| Six Kingdoms | Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia |
| Archaebacteria | Unicellular, Prokaryote, Autotrophic, Heterotropic, Asexual, Sexual-conjugation, found in extreme environments |
| Bacteria/Eubacteria | Unicellular, Prokaryote, Autotrophic, Heterotropic, Asexual, Sexual-conjugation, examples are strep, E. Coli, Salmonella |
| Protists- plant, animal, fungus like | Mostly unicellular, multicellular (some form colonies), Eukaryote, Hetrotrophic, Asexual and sexual, examples are amoeba, alge, protozans |
| Fungi | unicellular, multicellular (mostly), eukaryote, hetrotrophic, asexual (budding) sexual (spores), examples are molds, mildew, yeast |
| Plants | multicellular, eukaryote, autrotrophic, Repoduction is Sporophyte and Gametophytes, examples are Novascular, Vascular, Flowering, Cone Bearing |
| Animals | Multicellular, Eukaryote, Hetrotrophic, most sexual (internal and external) some asexual, examples are vertebrates and invertebrates |
| What are the 3 Domains | Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya |
| Archaea Domain | prokaryotes (most of which are known to live in extreme environments) that are distinguished from other prokaryotes by differences in their genetics and in the makeup of their cell wall; |
| Bacteria Domain | extremely small, single-celled organisms that usually have a cell wall and that usually reproduce by cell division (singular, bacterium) |
| Eukarya Domain | in a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of all eukaryotes; this domain aligns with the traditional kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia |
| What are the 8 classification levels? | Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
