Classification of Organisms
•The study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematics or taxonomy▫Taxonomy is the work involved in the
original description of a species.▫Systematics is the assigning of species
into evolutionary groups.

Father of Modern Classification
•The modern classification system originated with the work of Carolus Linnaeus ▫he recognized the different species could be
grouped into broader categories based on shared characteristics
▫any grouping of animals that shares a particular set of characteristics forms an assemblage called a taxon

CLASSIFICATION•Why are some kinds similar and
others NOT similar? Question to be answered later?
•How can we make sense of (explain) this diversity?
•How can we organize what we know about these organisms?

Answer: CLASSIFY
•Similar “types” (species) grouped together, separated from other species.
•Then, group similar groups together, •etc.

•Necessary? YES !!~ 1 million species of plants,5-10 million species of animals+ fungi, protists, bacteria
no good estimates of numbers of species•Human mind needs to organize
information.

CLASSIFICATION•Classification system organizes
biological knowledge.•Classification itself is HYPOTHESIS
about relationships, similarity because of common ancestry.

Modern taxonomists use 7 taxa:•kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,
genus and species ▫as taxa increase organisms get more
specific

Kingdoms of Life
•In 1969, Robert H. Whitaker classified kingdoms based on cellular organization and mode of nutrition
▫this lead to the formation of the 5 kingdoms
![Page 18: Classification of Organisms. The study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematics or taxonomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e405503460f94b31121/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
5 Kingdoms of Classification:
Monera: comprised of bacteria and cyanobacteria• distinguished by being single cell prokaryotes
Protista: comprised of Amoeba, Paramecium etc….
• distinguished by being single celled eukaryotes
Plantae: multi-cellular photosynthetic eukaryotes• plants have cell walls and are non-motile
![Page 19: Classification of Organisms. The study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematics or taxonomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e405503460f94b31121/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
5 Kingdoms of Classification:Fungi: multi-cellular heterotrophic
eukaryotes• fungi have cell walls and usually non-motile•digest organic matter extra-cellularly (outside
of cell) and absorb the breakdown products
Animalia: multi-cellular heterotrophic eukaryotes
•animal cells lack a cell wall and usually motile
• feed by ingesting other organisms or parts of other organisms

DOMAINS???
•Many taxonomists have pushed the idea that the five kingdom system isn’t enough▫they feel that organisms share too much
similarities and need to be grouped otherwise
• the push has led to the addition of 3 domains
![Page 22: Classification of Organisms. The study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematics or taxonomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e405503460f94b31121/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3 Domains
1. Archae: bacteria that live in extreme conditions
2. Eubacteria: “true bacteria”
3. Eukarya: all eukaryotic organisms

Binomial Nomenclature:•when a species is talked about only the
genus and species names are used▫this is called the scientific name ▫unique to each type of organism
•Required by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
![Page 26: Classification of Organisms. The study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematics or taxonomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e405503460f94b31121/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Writing Scientific Names
•the genus names is always capitalized• both names are either italicized or
underlined ▫leave a space in the underline between names
ex. Homo sapienFelis leoQuercus rubra

Often Latin names contain clues about the type of organism being described.
Canis domesticus :And closely related organisms are often in the same genus, also giving clues about their names
Canis lupus: Some names are given after the discoverer, or the discovery location, or even a Latinized descriptive term in English

ConclusionThe classification system for organismshave been around for a long time. It hasendured several changes and is quitecomplex. Without it modern biology couldnot exist, much in the same way thata grocery store would go out of businessif it did not have a classification system.
