Taxonomy notes
- System developed by Carolus Linnaeus-used Greek and Latin for names of organisms
- Created systems, large groups-Kingdoms- then devided into smaller groups.
- Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. 1st,2nd,3rd, etc.
- King Philip came over for good soup.
- Animalia, Chordata, mammalia, carnivora, felidae, panthera, panthera pardas
- Chordata, mammalia, primate, hominidae, homo, sapiens.
- Systems of naming=Binomial Nomenclature- which means 2-name systems.
- Scientific names must be underlined or italicized.
- Genus is always capitalized, species are lowercase. Can be abbreviated.
- Species: Organisms that can interbreed with one another and produce fertile offspring.
- Hybrid= 2 different species interbreed.
- Critera- Unicelluar or multicelluar number of cells, how it obtains energy (heterotroph or autotroph), type of cell (eukaryote or prokaryote)
- Kingdom Animalia-multicelluar, Heterotrophic, most can move.
- Kingdom Plantae- Multicelluar, Autotropic, Eukaryotic, cannot move (due to cell walls)
- Kingdom Fugue-Multicelluar (most of them are), heterotrophic (mainly decomposers, Eukaryotic.
- Kingdom Protista- Most are unicelluar, can be heterotrophic or autotrophic, Eukaryotes (all have neuclus), most live in water.
- Kingdom Eubacteria and kingdom Archaebacteria-unicelluar, can be autotrophic or heterotrophic, Prokaryotes. Eubateria=common bacteria.
- Domains-Eukaryu, bacteria, Archaea.
