  4. Organization • Taxonomy – the study of how living things are classified • 7 levels: Broad to more specific • The more levels organisms have in common, the more characteristics they share

  5. The Levels

  6. Kingdom • At least 5 kingdoms, some scientist say 6 • They are classified by how they obtain (get) food & number of cells

  7. The Kingdoms

  8. Phylum • Phylum in the Plant Kingdom are sometimes called divisions. • Plants divided into 2 groups: vascular and nonvascular • Animal Kingdom – 35 phylum • These phyla can be classified into 2 groups: vertebrates and invertebrates

  9. Class, Order, Family • These levels become more specific & include fewer organisms that have a lot in common as you move down the levels

  10. Genus • Closely related organisms • The first word in an organism’s scientific name

  11. Species • All organisms that can breed and produce fertile young (their offspring can have offspring) • Second word in an organism’s scientific name.

  12. Scientific Name • Genus then species • Written in itlacs (slanted writing) with genus capitalized Canis lupus Pinustaeda
