Unit 5: Classification Flashcards
Present day kingdoms
plantae
protista
animalia
eubacteria
archaebacteria
fungi
Defining characteristics of the monera kingdom during the 5 kingdom systems
prokaryotic
microscopic
Similar species make up a
genus
Defining characteristic for the protista kindgdom during the three kingdom system
microscopic
Defining characteristics of the animalia kingdom during the 5 and 6 kingdom systems
multicellular only
heterotrophic
Defining characteristics of the archaebacteria kingdom during the 6 kingdom system
prokaryotic
live in extreme/harsh environments similar to early Earth
Defining characteristics of the protista kingdom during the 5 and 6 kingdom systems
eukarytotic
unicellular or multicellular
autotrophic or heterotrophic
Father of taxonomy
Carolus Linnaus
Study of naming and classifying organisms
Taxonomy
Defining characteristics of the eubacteria kingdom during the 6 kingdom system.
prokaryotic
every day normal bacteria
What is the proper way to write the scietific name according to the rules of binomial nomenclature?
genus is capitalized
species lowecase
Both names are underline if hand written
If typed both names are italicized
Used to identify an unknown organims
dichotomous key
Kingdoms in the 1700’s
animalia and plantae
The prokaryotic kingdom of the five kingdom system
monera
Kingdom during the three kingdom system that bacteria used to be classfied within
protista
An order is broken down into similar
families
Defining characteristic for the animalia kingdom during the 1700’s or the two kingdom system
Two taxa used in the scientific name
genus and species
Naming system develped by Linnaeus
Binomial Nomenclature
Present day kingdom whose organims were once classified as plants during the three kingdom.
fungi
(because they mostly grow out of the ground)
Kingdoms in the 1950’s
plantae
animalia
protista
fungi
monera
Linneaus’ broadest level of classification
kingdom
Similar orders make up a
class
Kingdoms in the 1800’s
plantae
Animalia
Protista
Similar classes make up a
phylum
Defining characteristics of the plantae kingdom during the 5 and 6 kingdom systems
multicelluar
autotrophic
A kingdom is broken down into similar
phyla
Kingdoms that monera split into
eubacteria and archaebacteria
Defining characterist for the plantae kingdom during the two kingdom system
sessile
