Classification of Living Organisms!
KEY TERMINOLOGY
Classification: is the sorting of objects according to their properties to order objects according to a pattern
Dichotomous Key: a tool used to identify organisms based on contrasting pairs of characteristics
Kingdom: is the highest level of biological classification (animals, plants, fungi, protists, and two for bacteria)
Scientific Classification: kingdomphylumclassorderfamilygenusspecies Example platypus kingdom: animaliaphylum: chordataclass: mammaliaorder: monotrematafamily: ornithorhynchiadaeGenus: ornithorhynchusspecies: anatinus

The Kingdom of Living ThingsKingdom Description Described Species
Plantae Mutlicelled, cell walls, nucleus, make their own food, most can move
about 270,000
Animalia Multicelled, no cell walls, nucleus, eat food, most can move
More than 1,500,000
Fungi Mostly multicelled, cell walls, nucleus, take in food, cannot move
About 70,000
Protista Mostly single-celled, some have cell walls, nucleus, take in food, or make their own food, many can move
About 80,000
Bacteria Single-celled, cell walls, no nucleus, take in food or make their own food, some can move
About 5,000
SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISM:
• Single-celled organisms live everywhere.
• They are so small you need a microscope to see them, but you can see signs of their existence (getting food, producing waste, and reproducing).
Bacteria
single-celled organism performs basic functions: eats, excretes
waste, reproduces, and grows reproduces asexually through binary
fission or budding Microorganism breaks down remains of dead plants and
animals
Bacteria used in the body to digest food used to make yogurt, cottage cheese,
sour cream, sauerkraut, and pickles also harmful: causes strep throat, lime
disease, y tuberculosis. EX. yeast
Protists Are mostly singe-celled, some have cell
walls, a nucleus, take in food, or make their own food, many can move.
Protists live in almost any environment that contains water. Many protists, such as algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems, particularly in the ocean as part of plankton.
Other protists, such as the Kinetoplastids and Apicomplexa, are responsible for a range of serious human diseases, such as malaria.
Fungi Are mostly multicelled, have cell
walls, a nucleus, take in food, and cannot move.
Facts about Fungi!
Some can grow to adult overnight, or so it seems…
Fungi absorb their food from their environment. They decompose other organisms Fungi reproduce through spores
Now it’s Your Turn!
HOMEWORK #1: Use the information in the chart of kingdoms of living things to finish your flipcharts, but do not include animalia.HOMEWORK #2: Make a dichotomous key for the five kingdoms. Use the list of living organisms below and your flipchart guidebook. Algea, penguin, shiitake
mushroom,plancton, yeast, morel mushroom, banana plant, wolf, sunflower.
…C U later fun-guys!
