History of Taxonomy and Classification (17.1 and 17.4) 1. What is the Linnaean System of classification based on? 2. Identify limitations of the Linnaean system of classification. 3. Identify the 3 domains and 6 kingdoms. What did kingdom monera get split into? What domain and kingdom do we belong? 4. Know the seven levels of the Linnaean system (in order). Which taxon includes the most members? 5. Know the proper way to write a scientific name in binomial nomenclature. Understand how using binomial nomenclature can tell us how related two are.

Classification Based on Evolutionary Relationships (17.2) 1. Describe classification by cladistics. Quiz! 2. Summarize how molecular evidence reveals species’ relatedness. 3. Be able to read, label, and analyze cladograms, including their parts.

Studying and Prokaryotes (18.1) 1. Compare and contrast the different types of infectious agents.

2. Are viruses living? Why or why not?

Test! 3. Make sure to know the size and components of infections particles.

Viral Structure and Reproduction (18.2) 1. Indentify the structures and shapes of viruses (both a typical virus and a bacteriophage). 2. Describe different types of viral infection. Make sure to know the differences between a lytic and lysogenic infection.

Bacteria and Archaea (18.4) 1. Describe different types of prokaryotes. Know the three main shapes of bacteria and what was found in lab. 2. Summarize the similarities and differences between bacteria and archaea. 3. Describe the survival strategies of bacteria (including conjugation and endospores). 4. Know how to classify bacteria and how gram stains are used.

Protists (19.1) 1. Identify the three main types of . What characteristics distinguish each group from the others? 2. Discuss the difficulty of classifying protists. 3. What is the difference between single‐celled protists and bacteria or archaea?
