Title: How do we classify and name organisms?
Description: Essential Question: How do organisms continue to adapt to their environment? Focus Question: How do we classify and name organisms? Preview: All organisms are classified and named by a set of rules. o All scientists follow the same rule to name new organisms and remember known names of known organisms. o The names are called scientific names, not common names. o The taxonometric way of classifying organisms is based on similarities between different organisms o Throughout history there have been different ways of grouping the living organisms For example

All organisms are classified and named by a set of rules
...
o The names are called scientific names, not common names
...
7 million species have been named and described by scientists
...
The practice of naming and classifying organisms is called taxonomy
...
o Biologists arrange organisms into a hierarchy of groups and subgroups based on similarities and
differences, which have to do with how closely related they are
...
o Any group of living or non-living things can be classified
...
o Carolus Linnaeus (aka Carl von Linné) developed a hierarchical classification scheme that
continues to be biologically useful to this day
...
His system included the genus name and a single descriptive word for each species
...
The unique, two-part name for a species is now called a scientific name
...
No two species can have the same scientific name

Scientific Nomenclature
For example, the scientific name Apis mellifera belongs to the European honeybee
...
When you write the scientific name, the genus name should be capitalized and the species identifier
should be lowercase
...
The Linnaean System
Linnaeus devised a system to classify all plants and animals that were known during his time
...
The eight basic levels of modern classification are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,
genus, species
...
What are the levels of classification in order? Try to do it from memory
...
This category recognizes the most basic differences among cell types, eukarya, bacteria, and archea
All living things are now grouped into one of three domains
...
The category genus is made up of species with uniquely shared traits, such that the species are thought
to be closely related
...
In practice, scientists tend to define species based on unique features
...
Summary
Biologists use taxonomic systems to organize their knowledge of organisms
...
All scientific names for species are made up of two Latin or Latin-like terms
...
The eight levels of modern classification are domain,
kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
...
Scientists use a two-name system called a Binomial
Naming System
