  1. Organizing Life’s Diversity Chapter 17

  2. What Your Book Says • What You’ll Learn • You will identify and compare various methods of classifications • You will distinguish among six kingdoms of organisms • Why It’s Important • Biologists use a system of classification to organize all living things. Understanding classification helps you study organisms and their evolutionary relationships

  3. Classification Classification Section 17.1 NCSCOS: 4.01

  4. How Classification Began • Classification systems help to organize vast amounts of information • Allows you to find things more quickly • Helps you to understand them better • Taxonomy-branch of Biology that is concerned with classification of organisms

  5. Aristotle’s System • (348-322 B.C.) Greek Philosopher • Classified organisms into two groups • Plants • Shrubs, herbs and trees • Animals • Habitat and physical differences

  6. Carolus Linnaeus’s System • (1707-1778) Swedish botanist • Binomial Nomenclature • Created classification system that is still used today • Used genus and specific epithet to classify and name organisms

  7. Common and scientific names Common names can be misleading Animal can have different common names through out the world Example: Common Name : Guinea Pig Also called cavy Scientific name: Caviaporcellus

  8. Modern Classification General • Based on seven levels • Levels go from general to specific • Organisms that share levels are more closely related • Kingdom • Phylum • Class • Order • Family • Genus • Species • King Phil Cares Only For Good Spaghetti Specific

  9. Comparison Genus Felis Species Feliscatus

  10. The Six Kingdoms 17.2 NCSCOS: 4.01

  11. Evolutionary Relationships • Determined by: • Structural similarities • Breeding behaviors • Geographical distribution • Chromosome comparison • biochemistry

  12. Models of Classification • Scientists can use classification to try and determine if organisms share a common evolutionary ancestor • Phylogeny = evolultionary history of an organism • Cladistics – classification system based on phylogeny – shared derived characteristics

  13. Cladogram

  14. Phylogeny

  15. Six Kingdoms of Organisms • Archaebacteria • Eubacteria • Protists • Fungi • Plantae • Animalia

  16. Six Kingdoms
