CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISMS
taxonomy Taxonomy- describing, classifying, and naming living things ORGANISMS ARE CLASSIFIED BASED ON SHARED CHARACTERISTICS
How does the number of organisms in each level change as you move closer to the species level?
Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order FamilyGenusSpecies Did King Phillip Come Over For Great Spaghetti? Don’t Keep Piranhas Captive Or Fingers Will Get Swallowed.
Domains Three domains are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya
Domain: Bacteria Only one kingdom, eubacteria Prokaryotic Have a cell wall but no nucleus or other organelles
Domain: Archaea Only one kingdom, archaebacteria Prkaryotic Similar to bacteria but have different genes that allow them to survive in harsh/extreme environments
Domain: eukarya Kingdoms: Protista, fungi, plantae, Animalia All eukaryotic
Protista Most unicellular but can be multicellular Can be producers or consumers Simple cell structure
fungi Have cell walls Decomposers Can be unicellular or multicellular More complex cell structure
plantae Cell wall Photosynthesis Multicellular Complex cell structure
Animalia No cell wall Consumers Need oxygen Multicellular Complex cell structure
Choose an organism and use the 8 levels of classification to describe your organism.
