1. Classification Notes
Classification is: __________________________________________________________________
Taxonomy: ________________________________________________________________________
We use a __________________________________ which consists of several pairs of
descriptive statements where ________________________ will apply to the unknown
organism
Who did it and how?
Carl Linnaeus (1700): this scientist classified things by____________ and
__________________. He gave organisms a genus and species name
(_____________________________________)
___________________: the language commonly used for classification
Because it does not _______________and can be used _________________________
What order is that?
Binomial Nomenclature examined
Species: a group of ___________________________ that can produce viable
____________________________ (viable means it can have its own offspring)
Genus: a group of different ____________________________________________________
Felis catus (____________________ __________)
Six kingdoms
Two ___________________________ kingdoms:
•Archaebacteria
•Eubacteria

2. Four __________________________ kingdoms:
•Protist
•Plantae
•Fungi
•Animalia
Archeabacteria & Eubateria
Both are _____________________ with No _____________________
(______________________________)
Archaebacteria can live where most organisms could not survive
(deep ocean vents, hot spring)
______________________________ make up most of
__________________________
______________________________________________________
Example: E. coli, Hot springs algae
Protists
• ______________________________________________________________________
________
• have a _______________________

Example: euglena, paramecium, slime molds
Fungi
• __________________________ and _____________________________
• __________________________________ (obtains energy from other
source)
Example: mushrooms, yeasts, molds
Animals
• ________________________________________________________________
• heterotrophs- ______________________________________________
• have _______________________, ______________________,

• Most ______________
Plants

3. • ___________________________or
__________________________________________ with a
__________________________________________________
• have a _______________________________
• _________________________________- makes own food

Example: sequoia, flowers
The Plant Kingdom: A quick overview
Plants are multicellular
Plants make their own food (_________________________________)
2 main groups

There are 2 types of vascular plants
1. those that ________________________________
2. those that _________________________________________
Seedless vascular plants
Examples are ferns, club mosses and horsetails.
Vascular plant with seeds
The vascular plants with seeds are divided into 2 categories:
1. ____________________________________

4. 2. ____________________________________
Non-flowering seeded plants
Called _____________________________________________
