Learn the names and classifications of organisms and all the phylums

AB
Taxonomybranch of biology that names and classifies organisms
Aristotle2000+ years ago....Greece
Carolus Linnaeus1700's...Swedish...used 2 large categories: plants and animals
KKingdom- largest, most general group
PPhylum- next largest, subgroups of kingdom
CClass
OOrder
FFamily
GGenus
SSpecies
Make up Scientific nameFamily, Genus, Species
binomial nomenclature2 part naming system....always in Latin
5 KingdomsMoneran, Protista, Fungi, Plant, Animal
Moneran Kingdomall prokaryotes...one celled...some move...2 phyla
Phyla of Moneran KingdomBacteria and Blue-green algae
Bacteria(Moneran) uni-cellular, circular DNA, some heterotrophic, some autotrophic, 3 main shapes-cocci (round) bacilli (rod like) spirilla (spiral)
Blue-green Algae(Moneran) have cell wall and photosynthetic pigments, but no organelles
Protista Kingdomall eukaryotes...mosty unicellular...3 phyla
Phyla of ProtistaProtozoans, Algae, and Slime Molds
Protozoans(Protista) animal-like, unicellular, move with pseudopods (ex. ameba), move with cilia (ex. Paramecium), move with flagella (ex. Euglena), parasitic (ex. plasmodium)
Algae(Protista) simple protists, have chlorophyll, uni-cellular or in colonies, includes spirogyra, diatoms, green, brown, and red algae
Slime Molds(Protista) mass of streaming cytoplasm with many neucli, stalks from spores with flagellla which join to form ameba form again
Fungi Kingdomeukaryotes, plant like, but non-green (heterotrophic), cell walls of chitin or cellulose, sexual and asexual reproduction
Examples of Fungimolds and mushrooms (many celled), yeasts (single-celled), lichens (fungus and algae together)
Parasitic(fungi) live off living organisms
saprophytic(fungi) live off non-living organic matter
decomposersdecompose
Plant Kingdomeukaryotes, green...contain chloroplast, mulitcellular, generally live on land...2 phyla
Phlya of Plant KingdomBryophytes and Trachophytes
Bryophytes(plant) simple stem...rootlike and leaflike parts/structures, produce spores...ex. mosses and liverworts
Tracheophytes(plant) have vascular system...true roots, stems, and leaves...includes all other plants...(ex. corn, grasses, roses, fern...)
Animal Kingdomeukaryotes....multicellular, heterotrophic, most move around, 10 phyla--simplest sponges up to chordates (includes vertebrates)
10 Phyla of Animal KingdomPorifera, Coelenterata, Platyheminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Rotifera, Echinodermata, Mollusca. Arthropoda, Chordata
Porifera(Animal) sponges
Coelentrata(animal) hydroids, jellyfish, corals
Platyheminthes(animal), flat and ribbon-like, flatworms
Nematoda(animal) slender and elongated, round worms, pin worms, hook worms, vinegar eels
Annelida(animal) all organ systems, segmented worms
Rotifera(animal) wormlike, transparent, rotifers
Echinodermata(animal) 5 part body plan, echinoderms
Mollusca(animals) soft-bodied, clams, snails, octupuses, squids, mussels, slugs
Arthropoda(animal) segmented bodies, protostomes, arthropods, scorpians
Chordata(animal) tail, coelom present, dorsal never cord
