Classification System of Organisms
Once upon a time, all living things were lumped together into two kingdoms,
namely plants and animals
• Animals included every living thing that moved, ate, and grew to a certain size and stopped growing.
• Plants included every living thing that did not move or eat and that continued to grow throughout life.
• It became very difficult to group some living things into one or the other, so early in the past century the two kingdoms were expanded into five kingdoms:
• Protista (the single-celled eukaryotes);
• Fungi (fungus and related organisms);
• Plantae (the plants);
• Animalia (the animals);
• Monera (the prokaryotes).
• Kingdoms are divided into categories called phyla, each phylum is divided into classes, each class into orders, each order into families, each family into genera, and each genus into species.
KINGDOM MONERA (monerans) - Single cell
No true nucleus - prokaryote (genetic material scattered and not enclosed by a membrane)
Some move (flagellum); others don't
Some make their own food (autotrophic); others can't make their own food (heterotrophic)
Examples - bacteria
cyanobacteria
KINGDOM PROTISTA (protists)
Single cell
Have a true nucleus – eukaryote
Some move (cilia, flagella, pseudopodia); others don't
Some are autotrophic; others are heterotrophic
Examples - amoeba, diatom, euglena, paramecium, some algae (unicellular), etc
KINGDOM FUNGI
Multi cellular Have nuclei
Mainly do not move from place to placeHeterotrophic (food is digested outside of fungus)
Examples - mushroom, mold, puffball, shelf/bracket fungus, yeast, etc
KINGDOM PLANTAE (plants)
MulticellularHave nucleiDo not move Autotrophic
Examples - multicellular algae, mosses, ferns, flowering plants (dandelions, roses, etc.), trees, etc
KINGDOM ANIMALIA (animals )
Multicellular
Have nuclei
Do move
Heterotrophic
Examples - sponge, jellyfish, insect, fish, frog, bird, man
Phylum in Animalia• Porifera (sponges) • Cnidaria (jellyfish, hydras, sea anemones, Portuguese man-of-wars,
and corals) • Platyhelminthes (flatworms, including planaria, flukes, and
tapeworms) • Nematoda (roundworms, including rotifers and nematodes) • Mollusca (mollusks, including bivalves, snails and slugs, and
octopuses and squids) • Annelida (segmented worms, including earthworms, leeches, and
marine worms) • Echinodermata (including sea stars, sea cucumbers, sand dollars,
and sea urchins) • Arthropods (including arachnids, crustaceans, millipedes,
centipedes, and insects) • Chordata (animals with nerve chords - this group includes the
vertebrates)
THE INSECT ORDERS
• ORTHOPTERA: grasshoppers, crickets • COLEOPTERA: beetles • LEPIDOPTERA: butterflies, moths • DIPTERA: flies, mosquitoes • HYMENOPTERA: ants, wasps, bees • HEMIPTERA: true bugs • HOMOPTERA: aphids, cicadas • DERMAPTERA: earwigs • ODONATA: dragonflies • ISOPTERA: termites
