Learn about Taxonomy!
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Binomial Nomenclature | Using two words to name organisms |
| Classify | To group organisms based on similarities |
| Species | The smallest most specific group of organisms |
| Taxonomy | Science of grouping and naming organisms |
| Division | Largest group within the plant kingdom |
| Phylum | Largest group within the animal kingdom |
| Kingdom | Largest classification group |
| Orders | Groups a class is divided into |
| Class | Largest group within a phylum |
| Genus | A group of different, similar species |
| Families | Groups orders are divided into |
| Scientific Name | Identifies an organism by genus and species |
| Dichotomous Key | A key that helps identify organisms |
| Species Diversity | The great variety of organisms on Earth |
| Eukaryote | Cells that have a nuclear membrane around the nucleus |
| Prokaryote | Cells that do NOT have a nuclear membrane around the nucleus |
| Autotroph | An organism capable of photosynthesis - can PRODUCE its own food - PRODUCER |
| Heterotroph | An organism NOT capable of photosynthesis - CANNOT produce its own food - CONSUMER |
| Multicellular | An organism that is made of MORE THAN 1 CELL |
| Unicellular | An organism is made of ONLY 1 CELL |
| Decomposer | A decay-causing organism/parasites in nature |
| Adaptation | The process by which a living organism conforms to its environment - adaptations over time increase chance of survival |
| Organism | Any living thing that can act or function independently |
| What is the phrase to help you remember the classifications? | Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Soup (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) |
| Eubacteria | NO nucleus but does have a cell wall, unicellular, prokaryote, includes both (mostly heterotrophs) and autotrophs, mobile (EX: E. Coli, Strep) |
| Archaea | NO nucleus but does have a cell wall, unicellular, prokaryote, includes both heterotroph and autotroph, mobile (EX: Halophiles, methanogens) |
| Fungi | HAS a nucleus and a cell wall, MOSTLY multicellular but included BOTH multi and unicellular, eukaryote, heterotroph, stationary (EX: Mushrooms, Yeast) |
| Plantae | HAS a nucleus and a cell wall, multicellular, eukaryote, autotroph, stationary (EX: Moss, Ferns, Flowering plants) |
| Animalia | HAS a nucleus but does NOT have a cell wall, multicellular, eukaryote, heterotroph, mobile (EX: Dog, tiger, humans) |
| Protista | HAS a nucleus but does NOT have a cell wall, both unicellular and multicellular, eukaryote, includes both autotrophs and heterotrophs, mobile (EX: Euglena, Amoeba) |
| What are the 6 Kingdoms of life? | Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia |
| What are the 3 Domains of life? | Archaea, Eubacteria, and Eukarya |
| Eukarya | HAS a nucleus & BOTH cell wall (plants, fungi) & NO wall, BOTH multi (plants, animals, fungi) & unicellular (protists), eukaryote, BOTH hetero & autotroph (plants, protists [Algae]), BOTH (mostly) stationary (plants, fungi) & mobile (protists, animals) |
