How would you classify the things found in a closet or a garage or a classroom?

TAXONOMYLet’s Have Some Order Around Here!
TAXONOMY – the classifying of organisms and assigning each a name.
…NOT to be confused with this…
Why Classify?In order to name and group organisms in a
logical manner
It is a cougar.
**It’s a kitty!!!**

TAXONOMY – the classifying of organisms and assigning each a name.
Who decided? And How? Grouped based on where they live?
Based on what their reproductive organs look like (plants)? Should it be a long name?
Should it be a Latin name?

• Binomial Nomenclature- two word naming system, the genus and species
• Always typed in italics
• Underlined when written
The biologists around the world now accept this binomial (two names) system of scientific names!

Domains- the three largest groups of living organisms
EukaryaArchaeaBacteria
All three of these have cells with very different characteristics.
PROKARYOTES thought to be one group BUT BIG Difference in these domains
What puts an organism in its domain are the CHARACTERISTICS of its CELLS.
Still kept the 6 Kingdom System…

BIGGEST KINGDOM = Most diverse and has most organisms in it

Classification of Living Things
Now Biologists classify KINGDOMS under their appropriate DOMAIN based on characteristics of the CELLS they are made up of. HINT: THIS IS ON PAGE 459.
Dichotomous KeyA tool for biologists to classify and name
organisms.A series of paired statements that describe
characteristics of different organisms.Used by ecologists to track the population
size and diversity of an ecosystem. Environmental scientists can use this data to
analyze the health of the ecosystems in the area.
Using a Dichotomous KeyStudy the paired statements of the leaf
dichotomous key.Label each leaf with a partner using the
dichotomous key.
Try it on your own…• Look at the list of paired statements in
the salamander dichotomous key.• Use the key to fill out data table 1 and
answer the questions. When you are done hand it in.
