Explore the distinct ways animals differ from plants and bacteria, the levels of classification in biodiversity, and the six kingdoms in the realm of life. Discover how organisms are categorized, named, and classified based on evolutionary relationships using binomial nomenclature, systematics, phylogenetics, and cladistics.

Introduction to Classification Chapter 17 Sections 1-3 Pages 336-350
Biodiversity • Ecologists have classified over 2 million species • Many more to be discovered • Taxonomy: The science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms into a taxonomic system • Taxon: Any particular group within a taxonomic system
Levels Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Specificity

Classifying humans • Domain: Eukarya • Kingdom: Anamalia • Phylum: chordata • Class: Mamalia • Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Genus: Homo Species: Sapien
Three Domains • Created based on rRNA Evidence • Three Domains include six Kingdoms • Domain Bacteria (Prokaryotes) • Domain Archaea (Prokaryotes) • Domain Eukarya (Eukaryotes)
KINGDOM EUBACTERIA • unicellular prokaryotes • true bacteria
KINGDOM ARCHEABACTERIA • unicellular prokaryotes • chemosynthetic • extremophiles
KINGDOM PROTISTA • Heterotrophic and autotrophic eukaryotes • unicellular or multicellular • Ex. kelp
KINGDOM FUNGI • Heterotrophic eukaryotes • Absorb nutrients from surroundings • Ex. Yeast, mold, mushrooms, athlete’s foot
Kingdom Plantae • Multicellular • Eukaryotes • Autotrophic by photosynthesis • Ex. Mosses, ferns, conifers, flowering plants
KINGDOM ANIMALIA • Eukaryotic • All multicellular • Heterotrophic
Binomial Nomenclature • How scientists name species • Invented by Carolus Linnaeus
Binomial Nomenclature • How scientists name species • Invented by Carolus Linnaeus • Scientific (species) Name • Genus Name + species name • Written in italics • Genus is always capitalized • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYL_8gv7RiE
Value • Clarity • Binomial names avoid confusion created when using common names to refer to a species. • Example: In English-speaking parts of Europe, the bird called a "robin" is Erithacus rubecula. In English-speaking North America, a "robin" is Turdus migratorius.

SYSTEMATICS • The goal is to classify organisms in terms of their natural relationships • Uses similarities in appearance, embryos, chromosomes, proteins, and molecular molecules (DNA & RNA) • Two types: phylogenetics and cladistics
PHYLOGENETICS • Phylogenetics: the analysis of the evolutionary or ancestral relationships among taxa • Based on common ancestors Phylogenetic Tree
Phylogenetic Trees • Uses chromosomes and molecular molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins
CLADISTICS • Uses shared and derived characteristics as the criteria for grouping taxa • Ex. feathers unique to birds
