  1. Eight Major Taxonomic Ranks (Hierarchy of Biological Classification) Life Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

  2. Eukarya Domain (Protista Kingdom)

  3. Protista Kingdom (Three Main Groups) Pseudopods Cilia AnimalLike Flagella also called Protozoans Sporozoans One celled Algae Plantlike Multi-celled Algae Slime Mold Fungus-like Water Mold

  4. Eukarya Domain (Fungi Kingdom) Mold Mushroom Lichen Most fungi use spores to reproduce and need moist, warm places to grow.

  5. Eukarya Domain (Plantae Kingdom) Plants produce their food through photosynthesis. Plant cells with visible chloroplasts.

  6. Plantae Kingdom (Three Main Groups) Seedless and Seed Producing Ferns Gymnosperms Vascular Angiosperms Most species are single-celled Green Algae Mosses Non-Vascular

  7. Eukarya Domain (Animalia Kingdom) Invertebrates Vertebrates • 95% of all animal species • 3/4 of all animals are from the arthropod species • Fish have majority number of vertebrate species.

  8. Animalia Kingdom (2 Major Phylums) Invertebrates Vertebrates Chordata Fish Arthropod Mollusk Worms Reptiles Birds Amphibians Cnidaria Sponges Mammals Echinoderm

  9. The word “animal” comes from the Latin word for “having breath.” AnimalsRelativeNumbers.png

  10. Invertebrate Phylum (Major Classes) insects Arthropod arachnids snails crustaceans Mollusk squid segmented clams Worms nematodes starfish flatworms Echinoderm sea urchin coral sand dollar Cnidaria jellyfish Sponges sea anenomes

  11. Vertebrate Phylum (Major Classes) *frogs Amphibians salamanders cartilage (sharks/rays) caecilian Fish crocodile bony Reptiles *lizard/snake turtle monotremes small Mammals marsupials Birds large (ostriche) placentals Tetrapoda (four legged) animals

  12. All members have a cranium, a skull Amphibians Reptiles Fish Mammals Birds

  13. Mammal Class (Three Main Groups or Subclasses) Lay eggs Monotremes Pouched Marsupials Placenta developed from fetus Placentals Every young mammal is fed with milk produced in its mother’s body.

  14. Mammal Class (Placental Subclass) largest orders Rodent Bats prosimian Primate simian Shrews Feliformia Carnivora Caniformia whales even-toed Cetacea Ungulates dolphins odd-toed porpoises

  15. Mammal Class (Placental Subclass) Placenta is an organ in pregnant female mammals that helps to feed the offspring during gestation, before birth.

  16. Placental Subclass (Primate Order) Lemurs Galagos Monkeys Apes Gibbons Human Tarsiers Simian Prosimian

  17. Hominidae Family (Homo sapien Species) • Homosapien means “wise man” or “knowing man.” • Have highly developed brains capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. • Adept at self-expression, exchange ideas, and organization. • Create complex social structures with variety of values, social norms, and rituals.

  18. Hominidae Family (Homo sapien Species) (cont) • Only species known to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies. • Capable of full bipedal location. • Human brain is more intelligent than any other species.
