| taxonomy | The science of classifying living things |
| Carolus Linnaeus | Modern taxonomy owes a great deal to this 1800 Swedish botantist |
| Structural similarity | Linnaeus's system was based upon... |
| kingdoms | Linnaeus divided all organisms into two major groups called... |
| Monera | Made of unicellular prokaryotic organisms |
| Protista | Eukaryotic, unicelluar or multicellular and can reproduce sexually or asexually |
| Fungi | Include yeasts, molds, mildews and rusts |
| Fungi | Include eukaryotic organisms with a continuous, filamentous body that has many nuclei |
| Protista | Include water molds, slime molds and algae |
| Monera | Include bacteria and blue-green bacteria |
| Plantae | Include autotrophic organisms with advanced differentation of tissues and organs |
| Plantae | Include mosses, ferns and seed plants |
| Animalia | Include multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms |
| Animalia | Include insects, amphibians and fish |
| Phylum | Division of a kingdom |
| class | Division of a phylum |
| order | Division of a class |
| Family | Division of an order |
| Genus | Division of a family |
| Species | Division of a genus |
| Species | The most specific of the classification system |
| Kingdom | The most general of the classification system |
| binomial nomenclature | System of naming organisms |
| Animalia | The kingdom of humans |
| Chordata | Humans are found in this phylum |
| Mammalia | Humans are in this class |
| Primates | Humans are in this order |
| Hominidae | Humans are in this family |
| Homo | Humans are in this genusq |
| Sapiens | Modern humans are in this species |
| evolutionary classification | Strategy of grouping organisms together based on their evolutionary history is called |
| cladistic | Evolutionary classification requires __________analysis |
| Derived | Characteristics that appear in the evolutionary linage of recent organisms but not in older members |
| cladogram | Derived characters can be used to construct this |
| cladogram | A diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms |
| stork | Besides the american vulture, what other bird urinates down its leg to cool off |
| eubacteria and archaebacteria | This two groups replace the moneran kingdom according to some scientists |
| Archaebacteria | These bacteria live in extreme habitats |
| peptidoglycan | Eubacteria contain this substance in their cell walls |
| domain | A new taxonomic category based on how long the organism has been evolving |
| bacteria | This domain is the same as the kingdom of Eubacteria |
| archaea | This domain is the same as the archaebacteria |
| Eukarya | This domain is composed of protista, fungi, plantae and animalia. |
| Eukarya | This domain includes all organisms that have a nucleus |
