TAXONOMY FOLDABLELife’s Filing System

HOW TO MAKE YOUR FOLDABLE

1. Grab 5 colored papers off of the counter.

2. Fold the PURPLE paper almost in half (like a card), but leave an edge about half an inch wide.

3. Fold the other papers over the top of that one leaving a half an each edge on each one. Put them in this order: purple, green, yellow, pink, blue.

4. When you are done, your foldable should look like this:

5. If your foldable looks like it supposed to, put two staples at the top.

SPECIES This is the information you should have on your SPECIES page:

Group of organisms that resemble each other closely in structure and function.

Basic unit of scientific classification- MOST SPECIFIC

Like species breed with like species

Part of scientific naming (binomial nomenclature)

The SECOND name in scientific naming written with a lower case letter and italicized.

EXAMPLE: Lepus curpaeums- rabbit, scientific name

genus species

GENUSHere is the information you should have on your GENUS page:

Genus comes after family and before species.

Part of the scientific naming system also know as binomial nomenclature.

First name in scientific naming written with a capital letter and italicized.

EXAMPLE: Felis catus- cat, scientific name

genus species

FAMILYHere is the information you should have on your FAMILY page:

Family comes after order and before genus.

ORDERHere is the information you should have on your ORDER page:

Order comes after class and before family.

CLASSHere is the information you should have on your CLASS page:

Class comes after phylum and before order.

PHYLUMHere is the information you should have on your PHYLUM page:

Phylum comes after Kingdom and before Class.

Plants are usually grouped by the term Division instead of the term Phylum.

The animal kingdom contains about 35 phyla.

The plant kingdom contains about 12 phyla or divisions.

KINGDOM (TOP PAGE, GREEN)

Kingdom

(Formally known as Monera)

• multicellular * multicellular * multicellular * unicellular* unicellular

• Over 1 million * make own food * absorb nutrients from * complex cells * no nucleus

species other organisms (have nucleus) * eubacteria &• move from place * they are NOT plants * move

with: archaea have to place

flagella different cell

cilia walls

pseudopods

KINGDOM (BOTTOM PAGE, YELLOW)

• Broadest or most general level of classification.

• How are organisms placed into their different kingdoms?

• Cell type: complex or simple• Ability to make food• Number of cells in their body

All organisms are split into Kingdoms:

Animal: organisms that usually move from place to place and find their own food.Plant: organisms that make their own food and do not actively move around from place to place.Fungi: organisms that absorb food from living and once living things.Protists: organisms tat have single, complex cellsEubacteria & Archeobacteria: organisms that have single, simple cells.

DOMAIN (TOP PAGE, YELLOW)Domains of Life

Life is divided into domains, which are subdivided into further groups

Absorb nutrients from other organisms

Can grow in the dark

Multicellular, produce own food

Move from placeto place by themselves.

Single-cell, have nucleus, move with flagella, cilia, pseudopods

unicellular, no nucleus

Unicellular, no nucleus, different cell wall from bacteria

DOMAIN (BOTTOM PAGE, PINK) All life can be divided into 3 Domains. Domains tell you the type of cell inside an

organism. Bacteria• Single-celled

organisms• No nucleus

Archaea• Single-celled

organisms• No nucleus• Different cell

wall from bacteria

Eukarya• Organisms with

cells that contain a nucleus

• All cells in this Domain keep their DNA inside the nucleus

Ex: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista

Archaea vs. BacteriaSimilarities

Differences • No nucleus• Small cells• One- celled (unicellular)• Can reproduce by diving

in two.

• Cell walls are made up of different material

• Archaea live in extreme environments: hot springs, geysers, salt flats

• Bacteria can live almost anywhere

CARL LINNAEUS (BOTTOM PAGE BLUE)

Aristotle Linnaeus

• Lived over 2,000 years ago

• Greek Philosopher• Developed the first

classification system• His system consisted of

two groups: plants and animals

• Lived during the 1700’s• Father of Taxonomy• Created the classification

system we use today• This system consists of

seven groups: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
