DIVERSITY OF LIVING ORGANISMS

4

Sorting things out • Classification is putting things into orderly groups based on similar characteristics.

• For thousands of years, humans have classified living things based on usefulness.

• Scientists classify living and extinct organisms.

• Biologists use a system to classify living things, this system groups organisms according to the characteristics they share.

How do scientists classify organisms?

• Before the 1600s, many scientists divided organisms into two groups: plants and animals.

• But, as more organisms were discovered, some organisms did not fit into either group.

• In the 1700s, Carolus Linnaeus founded modern taxonomy.

• Taxonomy is the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things.

• Linnaeus tried to classify all living things based on their shape and structure.

• He described a seven‐level system of classification, which is still in use today.

8

Classification today • Taxonomists use the seven‐level system to classify living things based on shared characteristics.

• They also use shared characteristics to hypothesize how closely related living things are.

• The more characteristics the organisms share, the more closely related the organisms may be.

9

Levels of Classification • Every living thing is classified into one of six kingdoms.

• Kingdoms are the largest, most general groups.

• All living things in a kingdom are sorted into several phyla (singular, phylum).

• The members of one phylum are more like each other than they are like members of other phyla.

• All living things in a phyla are further sorted in classes.

• Each class includes one or more orders. Orders are separated into families.

• Families are broken into genera (singular, genus).

• And genera are sorted into species.

• A species is a group of organisms that are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring.

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae Subfamily: Felinae Genus: Felis Species: Felis silvestris

13

Scientific Names • Classifying organism allows scientists to give living organisms scientific names.

• A scientific name is always the same for a specific kind of organism no matter how many common names there might be.

14

Scientific Names: Binomial • Linnaeus simplified the naming of living things by giving each species a two‐part scientific name. For example: Elephas maximus (asian elephant).

• The first part of the name, Elephas, is the genus name.

• The second part, maximus, is the species name.

• No other species has both this genus name and this species name.

• All genus names begin with a capital letter. All species names begin with a lowercase letter. Usually, both words, are underlined or italicized.

• Scientific names, usually in latin or greek, contain information about an organism. Example: Tyranosaurus rex, Felis domesticus, etc.

ASSIGNMENT

E‐Portfolio • Investigate what species are endangered in Peru, select ten and determine their taxonomy following the modern classification system.

• Publish it in your wiki.

• Just remember: CITE your SOURCES of INFORMATION, and USE YOUR OWN WORDS. • Deadline: Monday, April 20th.
