Common names can be confusing and vary between regions. Scientists agreed to use Latin and Greek when assigning scientific names to organisms. This practice is still followed today as new organisms are discovered.TRANSCRIPT

Why Classify?To study the
diversity of life, biologists use a classification system to name organisms and group them in a logical manner.Taxonomy

Assigning Scientific NamesCommon names can be
confusing and vary between regions.
Scientists agreed to use Latin and Greek when assigning scientific names to organisms.
This practice is still followed today as new organisms are discovered.

Linnaeus's System of ClassificationIncludes seven levels- from smallest to
largestSpecies, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum,
KingdomEach level is called a taxon.

with only 2- Animals & Plants
Now, we recognize 6! Plants, Animals,
Protists, Fungi, Archaebacteria, Eubacteria.
