In the 1730s, Carolus Linnaeus developed a naming system, called

binomial nomenclature


In binomial nomenclature, each species is assigned a two-part

scientific name

The first part of the name refers to the _______ , or a group of similar species.

Genus

The second part, called the ________, of the name is unique to each species.

Specific epithet

Linnaeus's system of classification has _________ different levels.

Seven

From smallest to largest, the levels are species, _______, family, order, _______, phylum, and kingdom.

Genus, class

Each of the ranking levels is called a

Taxon

Just as a genus is a group of similar species, a ________ is a group of similar genera.

Family

An _______ is a group of similar families.

Order

A _______ is a group of similar orders.

Class

A ______ is a group of similar classes.

Phylum

A __________ is a group of similar phyla.

Kingdom

A ________ is a group of similar kingdoms.

Domain

As biologists learned more about the natural world, they realized that Linnaeus's two kingdoms, ________ and ________, did not represent all life.

Animalia, Plantae

Researchers found that microorganisms were very different from plants and animals. They were placed in their own kingdom, called _____.

Protista

Then, yeast, molds, and mushrooms were separated from plants and placed in their own kingdom, called _________.

Fungi

Because bacteria lack nuclei, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, they were separated from Protista and placed in another kingdom, called ________.

Monera

In the 1990s, kingdom Monera was divided into two kingdoms: _________ & ________.

Eubacteria and Archaebacteria

Genetic analysis revealed that two prokaryotic groups are even more different from each other, and from eukaryotes, than previously thought. This discovery lead to a creation of a new taxon, called the ______. The _____ is a larger more inclusive category than a kingdom. The three ______ system consists of _____ ______ ______

Domain domain domain bacteria archaea and eukarya

The domain ___ includes unicellular organisms without a nucleus. They have cell walls containing a substance called peptidoglyacan

Bacteria

The domain ___ also includes unicellular organisms without a nucleus. These organisms have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan

Archaea

The domain ___ also includes unicellular organisms without a nucleus. These organisms have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan

Archaea

The domain ____ includes the four remaining kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. All members of the domain ____ have cells with a nucleous

Eukarya

Most members of the kingdom ____ are unicellular organisms. Some ______ are photosynthetic: others are heterotrophs

Protista

Most members of the kingdom ____ are multicellular and all members of this kingdom are heterotrophs with cell walls containing chitin

Fungi

Most members of the kingdom ___ are multicellular and photosynthetic. Most ____ cannot move about and their cells have cell walls

Plantae plants

All members of the kingdom ___ are multicellular heterotrophs most animals can move about and their cells lack cell walls

Animalia
