Vocabulary Classification: grouping objects or info based on
similarities Biodiversity: the variety of organisms considered
at all levels from populations to ecosystems Taxonomy: science of describing, naming, and
classifying organisms Taxon (plural taxa): any particular group w/in a
taxonomic system Binomial nomenclature: system of 2 part names
for organisms consisting of genus and species

More Vocab
Dichotomous key: key for the identification of organisms based on a series of choices between alternative characteristics
Unicellular: organisms consisting of a single cell
Multicellular: organisms consisting of more than one cell

More Vocab: Autotroph: an organism that produces its own
nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms
Heterotroph: organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their byproducts and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic molecules
Cladistics: a phylogenetic classification system that uses shared derived characteristics and ancestry as the sole criterion for grouping taxa
Phylogeny: evolutionary history of a species or taxon

History of Classification
Why do we classify: to better understand the organisms that we coexist with
How do we classify: based on similarities Taxonomy: science of grouping and naming
organisms based on their similarities and differences
![Page 6: Organization of Life. Vocabulary Classification: grouping objects or info based on similarities Biodiversity: the variety of organisms considered.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bb6b5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
History of Classification Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)
Developed the 1st widely used system of classification
Classified organisms into plants and animalsSubdivided plants into herbs, shrubs, trees
based on size and structureSubdivided animals by characteristics such as
habitat & physical differencesDid not use evolutionary history as a basis for
classification

History of Classification
Aristotle classified the organisms below into the same category, make sense?

History of Classification Linnaeus (1707-1778)
System still used todayBased on physical and structural similarities in
organismsHis groupings revealed relationships b/t
organismsGrouped organisms into hierarchical categories,
the lower the level the more closely relate the organisms in it
Used binomial nomenclature to name organisms
![Page 9: Organization of Life. Vocabulary Classification: grouping objects or info based on similarities Biodiversity: the variety of organisms considered.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bb6b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
History of Classification Binomial Nomenclature
2 word naming system, italicized or underlined1st word: genus of the organism, 1st letter upper
case2nd word: species of the organism
○ This sometimes describes a specific characteristic of the species that denotes it from others of the same genus
i.e.: homo sapiens: homo = genus, sapiens = wise which distinguishes humans from other organisms in the homo genus

History of Classification
Modern ClassificationBuilds on Linnaeus’s workTries to use evolutionary
relationshipsCompares internal and external
characteristics, geography & genetics

Taxonomy
Science of describing, naming and classifying organisms
Taxon: group w/in a taxonomic system
Taxa are bases on the closeness of the organisms in them
![Page 12: Organization of Life. Vocabulary Classification: grouping objects or info based on similarities Biodiversity: the variety of organisms considered.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bb6b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Taxonomy Modern levels of classification, from broadest
(organisms w/in share the least similarities, to the narrowest, organisms are extremely similar)
(highest level )Domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species (lowest level)
From the highest, each level includes all of the organisms grouped in the taxa below it

Identifying Species
Dichotomous key is one way to identify an unknown species
Uses pairs of contrasting descriptive statements of physical characteristics to lead to the id of an organism or object
Uses the principle of forced choice, you must choose one description or the other
Does not evaluate evolutionary relationships
![Page 28: Organization of Life. Vocabulary Classification: grouping objects or info based on similarities Biodiversity: the variety of organisms considered.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bb6b5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ID these: 1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton ………go to
step 2 b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton ……….go to
step 3 2. a. body has a round shape ……….ladybug b. body has an elongated shape ……….grasshopper 3. a. wings point out from the side of the body
……….dragonfly b. wings point to the posterior of the body
……….housefly

Phylogenetics
Phylogeny: evolutionary history of a species or taxon
Phylogenetics: analysis of evolutionary or ancestral relationships among taxa
Systematists: people who study phylogeneticsUse physical characterists, embryonic
development, chromsomes and macromolecules (like nucleic acids)
Used a phylogenetic diagram or tree to represent relationships

Cladistics
System of phylogenetics that uses only shared and derived characteristics for grouping taxa
Shared characteristic: all members of a group have (hair in mammals)
Derived characteristic: evolved only w/in the group under consideration (feathers in birds)
![Page 32: Organization of Life. Vocabulary Classification: grouping objects or info based on similarities Biodiversity: the variety of organisms considered.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bb6b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cladistics
Assumes organisms that share 1 or more derived characteristics come from a common ancestor
Clade: group of organsims that includes an ancestor plus all of its descendants
Use cladograms to represent relationshipsShow probable evolutionary relationshipsTwo groups on diverging branches share 1 or
more characteristic
