Classification Goals: .I can list the taxonomic classification levels in order .I can list the currently recognized domains and kingdoms .I can differentiate between prokaryotic & eukaryotic, multicellular & unicellular, heterotroph & autotroph, asexual & sexual reproduction .I can classify an organism into a kingdom based on given characteristics Taxonomic Classification • Domain – broadest, includes ALL organisms • Species - most specific, includes 1 kind Dear King Phillip Came Over For Good Soup Domain • All living things are classified into a Domain • There are 3 currently recognized Domains • Archaea (Archaebacteria) • Bacteria (Eubacteria) • Eukaryota Kingdoms • There are currently 6 kingdoms Archae (Archaebacteria) Bacteria (Eubacteria) Fungi Protista (Protist) Plants (Plantae) Animals (Animalia) Kingdoms • 4 main characteristics are used to classify organisms into kingdoms –Type of cell (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) –Number of cells (unicellular or multicellular) –Food source (autotrophic or heterotrophic) –Mode of reproduction (sexual or asexual) Prokaryotic Eukaryotic • Has a nucleus • Pro means NO • You have a nucleus • No nucleus and are Eukaryotic Unicellular Multicellular • 1-celled organism • Organisms with more than 1 cell Autotrophs Heterotrophs • Make their own energy • Eat other (food) through organisms to get photosynthesis energy Asexual Sexual Reproduction Reproduction • 1 parent • Male & Female • Uniform offspring • Diverse offspring Most Asexual, some Sexual Tiny organisms, Do not move Most can Decomposers, extreme mushrooms, cannot be from place to move for at Need to Know some cause environments, classified as fungi, molds, and place on their least part of disease old bacteria plants, or animals mildew (leftovers) own their lives Eubacteria Archeabacteria Most Asexual, some Sexual Tiny organisms, Do not move Most can Decomposers, extreme mushrooms, cannot be from place to move for at Need to Know some cause environments, classified as fungi, molds, and place on their least part of disease old bacteria plants, or animals mildew (leftovers) own their lives Task Given a partial list of characterists, you should be able to…… • Identify the Domain of each organism • Identify the Kingdom of each organism • List characteristics that the organism should have Example Organism 1 • Eukaryotic • Autotrophic • Sexual Answer Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Plants Characteristics: Multicellular Example Organism 2 • Unicellular • Asexual • Decomposer Answer Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Bacteria Characteristics: Prokaryotic, Autotroph or Heterotroph.
