Life’s Filing System

1. Grab 5 colored papers off of the counter.

2. Fold the BLUE paper almost in half (like a card), but leave an edge about half an inch wide.

3. Fold the other papers over the top of that one leaving a half an each edge on each one. Put them in this order: blue, pink, orange, yellow, purple.

4. When you are done, your foldable should look like this:

5. If your foldable looks like it supposed to, put two staples at the top.

This is the information you should have on your SPECIES page:

Group of organisms that resemble each other closely in structure and function.

Basic unit of scientific classification- MOST SPECIFIC

Like species breed with like species

Part of scientific naming (binomial nomenclature)

The SECOND name in scientific naming written with a lower case letter and italicized.

EXAMPLE: Lepus curpaeums- rabbit, scientific name

genus species

Here is the information you should have on your GENUS page:

Genus comes after family and before species.

Part of the scientific naming system also know as binomial nomenclature.

First name in scientific naming written with a capital letter and italicized.

EXAMPLE: Felis catus- cat, scientific name

genus species

Here is the information you should have on your FAMILY page:

Family comes after order and before genus.

Here is the information you should have on your ORDER page:

Order comes after class and before family.

Here is the information you should have on your CLASS page:

Class comes after phylum and before order.

Here is the information you should have on your PHYLUM page:

Phylum comes after Kingdom and before Class.

Plants are usually grouped by the term Division instead of the term Phylum.

The animal kingdom contains about 35 phyla.

The plant kingdom contains about 12 phyla or divisions.

as Monera)

• Broadest or most general level of classification.

• How are organisms placed into their different

kingdoms?

• Cell type: complex or simple

• Ability to make food

• Number of cells in their body

All organisms are split into Kingdoms:

Animal: organisms that usually move from place to place and find their own food.

Plant: organisms that make their own food and do not actively move around from place to place.

Fungi: organisms that absorb food from living and once living things.

Protists: organisms tat have single, complex cells

Eubacteria & Archeobacteria: organisms that have single, simple cells.

Domains of Life

Life is divided into domains,

which are subdivided into

further groups

Absorb nutrients from

other organismsCan grow in the

dark

Multicellular,

produce own

foodMove from place

to place by

themselves.

Single-cell, have nucleus,

move with flagella, cilia,

pseudopods

unicellular,

no nucleus Unicellular, no nucleus,

different cell wall from

bacteria

All life can be divided into 3 Domains. Domains tell you the type of cell inside an organism.

Bacteria

• Single-celled

organisms

• No nucleus

Archaea

• Single-celled

organisms

• No nucleus

• Different cell

wall from

bacteria

Eukarya

• Organisms with

cells that contain

a nucleus

• All cells in this

Domain keep

their DNA inside

the nucleus Ex: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae,

Protista

Archaea vs. Bacteria

Similarities Differences

• No nucleus

• Small cells

• One- celled (unicellular)

• Can reproduce by diving in

two.

• Cell walls are made up of

different material

• Archaea live in extreme

environments: hot springs,

geysers, salt flats

• Bacteria can live almost

anywhere

• Lived over 2,000 years ago

• Greek Philosopher

• Developed the first

classification system

• His system consisted of two

groups: plants and animals

• Lived during the 1700’s

• Father of Taxonomy

• Created the classification

system we use today

• This system consists of seven

groups: Kingdom, Phylum,

Class, Order, Family, Genus,
