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 |
