Classification
Putting organisms with similar characteristics
classification
Grouping and ordering organisms
Carolus Linnaeus proposed his method of classification
Eubacteria
Species of bacteria
Microscopic and unicellular
Bacteria don’t have a membrane bound nucleus
Bacteria don’t have many organelles that are part of other cells
Archaebacteria
Live in extreme environments
Fungi
Includes mold,mushrooms,yeast,lichens
Reproduce with spores
Spores made of chitin and can survive for a periods of time
Singular or multicellular
Don’t have vascular tissue (vessels)
Get nutrients by absorbing or digesting what they live on
Lichen
A organism made of fungus living together with a photosynthetic bacteria or algae
Archaebacteria
Lives in places such as acid,extremely hot,poisonous,or very salty environments
Plantae
Multicellular
Eukaryote
Produce food with photosynthesis With organelles called chloroplasts
Have cell membranes and cell walls
Cell walls in plants are made of cellulose
Kingdom Protista
Diverse kingdom
Includes protozoans,algae,and slime molds
Unicellular,microscopic,multicellular,or live in colonies
Protist
Eukaryotes
Most live in water based environments
Some eat by ingestion,but others are photosynthetic
Example of animal like prostist
Amoeba
Eats with and moves with the use of pseudopods when it shoots streams of cytoplasm out of its body
Paramecium:moves with cilia,eats through a mouth groove,and reproduces by budding
Animalia
Multicellular
Eukaryotes
Most important membrane bound organelles are found in the nucleus
Ingest their food into some type of body cavity
Protist
The plasmodium
Reproduces with spores
Plant-like protist
Algae can be:euglena,green algae,blue-green algae,red algae,brown algae
Most have chloroplasts
Euglena
Have chloroplasts for photosynthesis
Can eat other organisms when it’s dark
Have an eyespot to detect light
Plankton diatoms & dinoflagellates
Have ability to produce their own light
Fungus protist
Like slime molds and water molds
Reproduce with spores
Are decomposers but have a cell wall and can move during part of their life cycle
What are the 7 levels of classification
The biggest and the broadest is kingdom Then,here are the following: Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
