Classification Review

List the seven levels of classification from largest to smallest.

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Identify the six kingdoms.

Archaebacteria

Eubacteria

Protists

Fungi

Plants

Animals

Explain one difference between plants and fungi.

Plants are autotrophic. Fungi are heterotrophic.

1. What is the name of the method used to today to name organisms?

Binomial nomenclature

2. Who devised this system of naming organisms?

Carolus Linnaeaus

3. What does the scientific name of an organism consist of?

Genus species

Identify the kingdom each organism belongs to.1. Yeast2. Maple tree3. Mushroom4. Lizard5. Paramecium6. Found in hot springs7. Moss8. Insect9. Amoeba10. Bacteria that causes strep throat11. Algae

Explain the differences between a kingdom and a species.

A kingdom is the largest level while species is the smallest level.

A kingdom is made up of the largest number of organisms while a species contains the smallest number.

A kingdom consists of organisms that are not very similar to each other while a species consists of organisms that are most similar to each other.

1. List two characteristics of a kingdom.

2. Why is a species considered the most specific level?3. The scientific name of the clouded leopard is Neofelis nebulosa . What is the organism’s genus and species?

LARGEST TAXONCONSISTS OF ORGANISMS THAT ARE VERY DIVERSE

ORGANISMS ARE VERY SIMILAR

GENUS NeofelisSPECIES nebulosa

Compare (how they are similar) and contrast (how they are different) archaea and eubacteria.

They are both unicellular.They are both prokaryotic.

Archaea live in extreme environments.

Eubacteria are very common.

In which group do all the organisms belong to the same kingdom?

1. Dog, mushroom, maple tree

2. Paramecium, ameba, euglena

3. Bacteria, ameba, rose

4. Bacteria, moss, lettuce

The diagrams above show single-celled organisms. In the past, they were difficult to classify as either plants or animals. Currently, these organisms are classified as

1. worms

2. fungi

3. bacteria

4. protists

Acer saccharum is the scientific name for the sugar maple tree. Acer is the name of the tree's

1. genus

4. bacteria and chordates

In which group do all the organisms belong to the same kingdom?

1. Yeast, mushroom, maple tree

2. Paramecium, ameba, algae

3. Bacteria, ameba, algae

4. Bacteria, moss, geranium
