CLASSIFYING LIVING ORGANISMS

SLIDE 2

CLASSIFICATION UNIT VOCAB

1. Classification – the process of grouping similar things

together

2. Kingdom – a major, large group of similar organisms
3. Species – a unique kind of organism
4. Vertebrate - animal with a backbone
5. Invertebrate - an animal without a backbone
6. Taxonomy – the science of classification
7. Genus – a number of similar, closely related species

CLASSIFICATION UNIT VOCAB #8-12:

8. Carl Linnaeus – 18th century Swedish scientist who developed

the two name classification system we use today

9. Binomial nomenclature – classification system giving each
rganism two names, a genus and species name (ex. Homo sapiens)
10. Homo sapiens - the scientific name for humans
11. Animal - living organisms that can breathe and move, are

multi-celled, and cannot make their own food

12. Plants - contain chlorophyll to make their own food, have

multiple cells and cellulose, can't move

CLASSIFICATION UNIT VOCAB #13-19

13. Monerans – simple, singled celled organisms that don’t have a

membrane bound nucleus (bacteria)

14. Protists –single celled organisms that have a nucleus (algae, amoebas,

diatoms)

15. Fungi – multicellular organisms that have a nucleus and absorb the
rganism that it is growing on (mushrooms, yeast, and molds)
16. Spores - single reproductive cells which grow into a new plant
17. Metabolize - chemical processes in cells that are essential to life
18. Autotrophs – organisms that can make their own food
19. Heterotrophs – organisms that can’t make their own food

THE 5 KINGDOMS

1. Plants
2. Animals
3. Fungi
4. Protists
5. Monerans

SLIDE 8

Plant Kingdom

Some plants have vascular tissue (transport tubes) in

roots, stems, and leaves.

Vascular tissue carries water and nutrients

Some plants are nonvascular
Absorb water directly through the surface of their cells
3 types of nonvascular plants are:

mosses, liverworts, and hornworts

SLIDE 9

SLIDE 10

Some plants don’t make seeds to reproduce, they

grow from spores (like ferns)

Flowering plants make seeds inside a fruit
Non flowering plants make seeds in cones

(coniferous or cone bearing) like pine, spruce, and fir trees

ANIMAL KINGDOM – VERTEBRATES

1. Mammals -warm blooded, produce

milk for young, skin covered in hair, give live birth  Monkeys, mice, whales, kangaroos, people

2. Reptiles -cold blooded, live in warm

places, have lungs, lay leathery eggs, dry scaly skin  Snakes, lizards, alligators, crocodiles, turtles

3. Fish -cold blooded, aquatic animals

with gills, rubbery skeletons, lay eggs  fish, sharks, eels

4. Amphibians -cold blooded,

adults have lungs & gills, moist skin (no scales), lay eggs, young breathe with gills,  frogs, toads, salamanders

5. Birds -warm blooded, hollow

bones, lay eggs, feathers, covered in feathers, hollow bones, two legs and two wings, lay eggs



striches, chickens

SLIDE 13

ANIMAL KINGDOM - INVERTEBRATES

1. Sponges-no body openings,

live in water

2. Worms-two body openings,

simple nervous system

 Flatworms, roundworms,

segmented worms

3. Mollusks-soft bodies, 3 body

parts (head, body, foot)

 Clams, oysters, squid, octopus,

snails

4. Arthropods-bodies divided into

segments, legs with several joints, exoskeleton, (largest subgroup)

 Insects (largest group of animals on

land), spiders, crabs, lobsters, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes

5. Echinoderms-external skeletons, 5

body parts

 Starfish, sea urchin, sea cucumber,

sand dollar

SLIDE 15

ANIMAL KINGDOM: VERTEBRATES AND INVERTEBRATES

1.Create a table that lists: the 5 classes of vertebrates, characteristics of each, and an example of the animal in the class.

mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish

2.Create a table the lists: the 5 classes of invertebrates, characteristics of each, and an example of the animal in the class.

sponges, worms, mollusks, echinoderms, arthropods

SLIDE 16

FUNGI

Multi-celled organisms
Heterotrophs (absorb food from

living or dead organisms)

Live off dead of living organisms

(like dead trees)-decomposers

Examples: mushrooms, molds,

mildew, & yeast (single-celled fungi)

Fungi Video 14:43

SLIDE 17

PROTISTS

Single celled organisms
Eukaryotes (have a nucleus)
Some are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs
Examples: fungi, protozoa, amoeba, algae,

blue-green algae, diatoms

Protist Video 3:11

SLIDE 18

MONERANS

Smallest & most numerous of earth’s organisms
Simple, singled celled organisms
Prokaryotes (don’t have a nucleus)
Heterotrophs AND Autotrophs
Examples: bacteria & viruses

Fun Fact! The total number

f bacteria living in

your mouth is greater than the number of people who have ever have lived!

Bacteria are the most numerous

rganisms on earth & live

EVERYWHERE (even where nothing wants to live!)
