Taxonomy

“By the help of microscopes, there is nothing so small, as to escape our inquiry.”

– Robert Hooke

How do we classify things in a grocery store?

Classification

• We naturally put objects into groups by their similarities and differences.

• Scientists have created a system to classify organisms in a similar way.

• This is called taxonomy.

Taxonomy

• Taxonomy is the classification of life into categories.

• All organisms are grouped based on their similarities.

• Groups get more specific as you go down.

Taxonomy

Species

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Biological Classification

• As a table group, you will read an article about the various basic characteristics of organisms and how these characteristics place them into different domains and kingdoms.

• 1 person will read each paragraph.

• After you have read through the article, pull out definitions as a table group.

20 min

Basic Characteristics

• All organisms are placed into their categories based on some basic characteristics about them.

• Some examples include but are not limited to: prokaryotic or eukaryotic; unicellular or multi-cellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction.

Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.

• Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus that is surrounded by a membrane.

• This nucleus holds all the genetic information for the cell (the DNA).

Unicellular vs. Multi-cellular

• Unicellular organisms contain only one cell.

• Multi-cellular organisms are made of more than one cell.

Autotrophic vs. Heterotrophic

• Autotrophic organisms make their own food. (i.e. plants through photosynthesis)

• Heterotrophic organisms obtain energy/food by feeding on other organisms.

Asexual vs. Sexual

• Organisms that have asexual reproduction means that they receive all their genetic material from only one parent.

• Organisms that have sexual reproduction means that they receive their genetic material equally from two parents.

Domain - Bacteria

• Consists of prokaryotic, unicellular organisms.

Domain - Archaea

• Consists of prokaryotic, unicellular organisms that survive in extremely harsh conditions.

Domain - Eukarya

• Consists of eukaryotic, unicellular or multi-cellular organisms.

• All organisms in this domain have a membrane-bound nucleus.

Kingdom - Bacteria

• Prokaryotic

• Unicellular

• Autotrophic or heterotrophic

• Asexual reproduction

• Can cause sickness

Kingdom - Archaea

• Prokaryotic

• Unicellular

• Autotrophic or heterotrophic

• Asexual reproduction

• Exists in extremeenvironments.

Kingdom - Protista

• Eukaryotic

• Most Unicellular and some simple multi-cellular organisms.

• Autotrophic and/or heterotrophic.

• Asexual and/or sexual reproduction.

• Ex. Amoeba, molds, etc.

Kingdom - Fungi

• Eukaryotic

• Most multi-cellular, some unicellular

• Heterotrophic – receives nutrients from decomposing organic matter.

• Mushrooms and yeast

Kingdom - Plantae

• Eukaryotic

• Multi-cellular – has cell walls and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

• Autotrophic – use photosynthesis to create own food.

• Asexual and/or sexual reproduction

Kingdom - Animalia

• Eukaryotic

• Multi-cellular – does not have cell walls or chloroplasts.

• Heterotrophic

• Sexual reproduction
