Review: Classification Classification

The document outlines the taxonomic classification system from broadest (Kingdom) to most specific (Species) levels, explaining that organisms are grouped based on their shared characteristics at each level, from the five Kingdoms down to Genus and Species, with an example being Homo Sapiens. It also introduces the founder of taxonomy, Carolus Linnaeus, and the binomial nomenclature system of scientific naming.

Kingdoms
• Any grouping of organisms into kingdoms is
based on several factors:
– Presence of a nucleus
– Unicellular or multi-cellular
– How organisms get their food.

• Five different kingdoms of organisms are


generally recognized by scientists today
– Protists
– Monerans
– Fungi
– Plants
– Animals
The five kingdoms of living things
Why do you think they have been grouped this way?
Monera
Monera are single-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus
(Prokaryote cells).
Bacteria make up the entire kingdom.
Some bacteria are beneficial to us, such as the ones found in yogurt.
Others can cause us to get sick.
Some monerans can move around, while others stay in one place.
Monerans are asexual meaning they split in two to reproduce with
identical offspring.
Protist
Protists are mostly single-celled organisms that have a
nucleus (Eukaryote). They usually live in water.
Protists can be asexual (split in two to reproduce with
identical offspring) or sexual (fertilisation happens to
produce offspring combining genes of the parents).
Examples of protists include some algae, paramecium,
and amoeba.
FUNGI
Fungi cells have a nucleus (Eukaryote) and all
except yeast are multi-cellular. They reproduce
sexually and are spread by producing millions of
microscopic spores.
They cannot produce their own food
(PHOSYSNTHESIS) so feed on dead plants or
animals and help to recycle their nutrients.
Fungi
Some fungi are edible but some are very POISONOUS! Fungi
live in all kinds of places including your intestines and your
feet! Most people have 80 types of fungus on the heel of their
foot alone.
Some are beneficial to people (penicillin) and others can make
you sick (black mould). They include mushrooms, molds, and
yeasts.

Intestinal fungi Athletes’ foot


Plants
(Kingdom Plantae)
Plants cells contain a nucleus (Eukaryote) and are
multi-cellular. They contain chlorophyll, a green
pigment necessary for photosynthesis, a process in
which plants convert energy from sunlight into
food.
Animals
(Kingdom Animalia
Animals are the most complex organisms on
Earth.
They are divided into vertebrates and
invertebrates and include mammals, amphibians,
reptiles, birds and fish.

the Phylum.

Your task

Create a two column


table in your book
titled ‘Vertebrates
and Invertebrates.
Write down the
names of these
animals under the
appropriate heading.
How did you go?
We know the kingdom. Now what?

The next step is


to group animals
by class.

Can you name


two animals for
each class?
We know the kingdom. Now what?

Every class
needs a little
order!

The class
‘Mammals’ has
26 orders in all.

Here are five


examples.
We know the kingdom. Now what?

Families come
next.

The order
‘Primates’ is
organised into
13 families.

We are part of Family – Hominidae (great apes)


the family called
Hominidae
family
We know the kingdom. Now what?

Animals in the
same genus are
very closely
related.
Genus – Homo
Our genus is
called ‘Homo’
and includes all
great apes that
showed
evidence of tool
use, language
and culture
leading up to our
own species.
We know the kingdom. Now what?

We made it! The


species is each
type of animal.

Our species is Species - Sapiens


‘Sapiens’ and we
are the only
surviving
species of the
homo genus.
Binomial Nomenclature
• The Swedish scientist, Linnaeus, also devised a
simplified system of naming organisms based on their
classification: the first name shows the genus and the
second the species to which the organism belongs, as in
Panthera leo (the lion). This naming system is called
binomial nomenclature.

• Therefore, our official title is Homo Sapien.


How can I remember all that!!!

A good way to remember lists is to


make up a sentence using the first
letters in a list. In this case we want to
remember Kingdom, Phylum, Class,
Order, Family, Genus, and Species: K,
P, C, O, F, G, S
ACTIVITY
Create a song about classifying
organisms-
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order,
Family, Genus, and Species
