1. Explain the term “taxonomy”2. Explain the necessity for classifying

living things3. Identify the scientist that developed the

current classification scheme4. Identify the 5 kingdoms5. Describe each kingdom in terms of:

a. Presence of a distinct nucleus (prokaryote or eukaryote)

b. Type of nutrition (heterotroph or autotroph)c. Cellular plan (uni- or multicellular)d. Examples of representative organisms

(identify by name or picture)

6. List the 7 classification categories (KPCOFGS)

(King Philip Came Over From Germany Saturday)

7. Define the term “species”8. Explain what “binomial nomenclature” is,

where it comes from, and how it is written9. Know the scientific name of humans10. Use a dichotomous key to identify

organisms

Kingdom - Animala - Can move around, specialized sense organs, requires organic plant and animal substances for food

Phylum - Chordata - Hollow nerve cord (Subphylum) - Vertebrate - backbone (Superclass)Tetrapoda - Four footed - can live on land.Class - Mammalia - Hair, Mammary glands for nursing youngOrder - Primate - (Monkeys) - Binocular vision (forward eyes) -

opposable thumbs Family - Hominidae - (Great apes) - Complex social behaviors,

larger body, skeletal modifications for semi-upright posture, 32 teeth

(SubFamily) - Homininae (hominines) - Gorilla, Chimp, Human

(Tribe) - Hominini or hominins - canine tooth, which looksmore like an incisor. Toe bone improved for moving bipedally.

Genus - Homo "man" - Larger brainSpecies - Homo Sapien "wise" - Language, more sophisticated

tools, prominent chin, sparse body hair

Prokaryote: cells with no nucleusEukaryote: cells with a true nucleusHeterotroph: can not make their own

foodAutotroph: can make their own foodMotile: has locomotionNon-motile: can not move around
