6.12CD: Classification of Organisms Organisms and Environments

TEKS UNWRAPPED The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains and Kingdoms. Organisms within these

taxonomic groups share similar characteristics which allow them to interact with the living and nonliving

parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to:

(C) Recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living organisms is divided into currently

recognized Domains. (New Topic)

0 SS (D) 6.12D Identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic,

unicellular or multi-cellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction that further

classify them into currently recognized Kingdoms.

Prior Knowledge/TEKS 4.9A: Investigate that most producers need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own food,

while consumers are dependent on other organisms for food.

5.9B: Describe how the flow of energy derived from the Sun, used by producers to create their own food, is

transferred through a food chain and food web to consumers and decomposers.

Key Concepts • Key Concept 1: Taxonomic classification is a process of science that organizes living organisms by their

structure, function, and relationships.

• Key Concept 2: All living organisms are organized into three Domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

• Key Concept 3: Kingdom Bacteria is part of the Domain Bacteria. Kingdom Archaea is part of the

Domain Archaea. Kingdoms Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia are part of Domain Eukarya.

• Key Concept 4: Living organisms are classified into six currently recognized Kingdoms by their basic

characteristics including the complexity of their cell make up, their ability to obtain nutrients, and

mode of reproduction.

• Key Concept 5: Autotrophic organisms manufacture on their own nutrients, whereas heterotrophic

organisms must consume other organisms to obtain life-sustaining organic molecules.

• Key Concept 6: The modes of reproduction for vertebrate and invertebrates, including sexual vs.

asexual reproduction in animals and plants, are diverse.

Fundamental Questions • How do scientists organize organisms?

• What characteristics classify organisms into one of the three Domains?

• What characteristics classify organisms into one of the six Kingdoms?

Examples of prompts for this level of content knowledge include:

• What is the broadest taxonomic level of classification?


TEKS UNWRAPPED Implications for Instruction • Make sure that students understand that eukaryote cells have many internal structures which each have their

own membranes surrounding them. One of these is the nucleus. These membranes are different than the

cellular membrane which surrounds the cell and separates it from the environment. The only membrane that a

prokaryote cell has is the exterior cellular membrane. • Students might think that algae are plants. In fact, most are protists since all plants are mulitcellular, while

most algae are unicellular - even though some of them grow in colonies large enough to be visible.

• Students might think archae are very primitive forms of bacteria; in fact, life scientists thought the same thing when they were first discovered, originally naming them Archaebacteria, which means "ancient bacteria" and

classifying them both in the same Kingdom. More sophisticated methods of analysis revealed that archae were

not the ancestors of bacteria.

Instructions to read aloud to your students.

When you decide what the answer to a question is, mark your answer on your answer sheet. To do so, find the row of circles with the same number as the question. Then darken in the circle with the same letter as the answer you chose. If you don't know the answer to a question, skip it. You may return to it later if you have time. If you finish the test early, you should go back and check over your work. Do NOT fold your answer sheet or make any stray marks.

When marking your answer sheet:

1. Make a heavy mark. The mark should be large enough to fill the circle, but it should not go outside too much. Do not waste time making very neat marks. It is more important to make very dark marks. Be sure to use a #2 pencil. 2. Be sure that your mark for every question is placed in the row with the same number as that question. 3. Make only ONE mark in a row. If you change your mind about an answer, erase your first mark as completely as you can.

prokaryotic.

Classifying by mode of reproduction • There are two types of reproduction: asexual and sexual.

• Asexual reproduction is reproduction that

requires only one parent. Most single-celled

organisms like bacteria and protozoans

reproduce this way. Offspring are identical to

the parent.

• Sexual reproduction is a type

of reproduction that involves

special types of cells called

sex cells. Off-spring have a

new combination of genetic material from the sex cells

of the parents.

by kingdom.

Classifying by type of cells

• All living cells can be classified into two groups:

prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

• prokaryotic cell - a cell that does not have a nucleus

or membrane-covered organelles. Bacteria are

prokaryotic.

• eukaryotic cell - a cell that has a nucleus and

membrane-covered organelles. Animals, plants, fungi,

and protozoans are eukaryotic.

EXPLAIN: More about prokaryotic cells: The word prokaryotic means "before nucleus" in Greek. Scientists believe that all life on Earth came from these cells. The oldest

fossils of bacteria are estimated to be 3.5 billion years old. The DNA in a prokaryotic cell is bunched up in the center of the cell. The organelles are not covered with a

membrane. All prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells. More about eukaryotic cells: The word eukaryotic means "true nucleus" in Greek. The oldest fossils of eukaryotic cells are about 2 billion years old. There is more DNA in these

types of cells and it is found in the nucleus. These cells have membrane-covered organelles. They tend to be about ten times larger than prokaryotic cells.

For example, a human cheek cell (a eukaryotic cell) is visible with the aid of a microscope using a 40x objective or higher.

EXPLAIN: Some bacteria, some protists, algae, and plants are able to produce their

own food. Consumers may be herbivores (plant-eating), carnivores (animal-eating), or

omnivores (both plant- and animal-eating). Decomposers like bacteria and fungi are also considered to be consumers.

Classifying by mode of reproduction • There are two types of reproduction: asexual and sexual.

EXPLAIN: More about asexual reproduction: Asexual reproduction is reproduction that requires only one parent. Most single-celled organisms like bacteria and

protozoans reproduce this way. Cell division is a type of asexual reproduction. Body cells reproduce this way. In asexual reproduction, the DNA and internal structures are

copied. Then the parent cell divides, forming two cells that are exact copies of the original. More about sexual reproduction: Sex cells (also known as gametes) contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells (all of the other cells in a multicellular

organism). Human body cells are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Human sex cells are haploid and have 23 chromosomes. The male sex cells are called sperm. The

female sex cells are called eggs.
