| A | B |
| Taxonomy | branch of biology that names and classifies organisms |
| Aristotle | 2000+ years ago....Greece |
| Carolus Linnaeus | 1700's...Swedish...used 2 large categories: plants and animals |
| K | Kingdom- largest, most general group |
| P | Phylum- next largest, subgroups of kingdom |
| C | Class |
| O | Order |
| F | Family |
| G | Genus |
| S | Species |
| Make up Scientific name | Family, Genus, Species |
| binomial nomenclature | 2 part naming system....always in Latin |
| 5 Kingdoms | Moneran, Protista, Fungi, Plant, Animal |
| Moneran Kingdom | all prokaryotes...one celled...some move...2 phyla |
| Phyla of Moneran Kingdom | Bacteria 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 Kingdom | all eukaryotes...mosty unicellular...3 phyla |
| Phyla of Protista | Protozoans, 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 Kingdom | eukaryotes, plant like, but non-green (heterotrophic), cell walls of chitin or cellulose, sexual and asexual reproduction |
| Examples of Fungi | molds 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 |
| decomposers | decompose |
| Plant Kingdom | eukaryotes, green...contain chloroplast, mulitcellular, generally live on land...2 phyla |
| Phlya of Plant Kingdom | Bryophytes 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 Kingdom | eukaryotes....multicellular, heterotrophic, most move around, 10 phyla--simplest sponges up to chordates (includes vertebrates) |
| 10 Phyla of Animal Kingdom | Porifera, 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 |
