The document discusses the taxonomy of living organisms, focusing on the kingdoms used to classify them. It traces the development of taxonomy from early systems that categorized organisms into two or three kingdoms to the currently widely used six kingdom system incorporating three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Specific kingdoms discussed in depth include Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia. The characteristics and classifications of organisms within these kingdoms are described.

Taxonomy
⢠Estimate of over 8.7 different million forms of life
⢠3/4 of the 8.7 million species live on land, 1/4 live in
the waters
⢠1735 - Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linne) published a
book, Systema Naturae, about the classification of
living things in a hierarchical system according to their
physical characteristics
⢠Taxonomy is a branch of biology that deals with the
naming and identification of organisms

Taxonomy
⢠Taxonomic rank, which is either the highest rank
or in the more recent three-domain system, the
rank below domain
⢠Divided into smaller groups called phyla (in
zoology) or divisions (in botany)
⢠United States uses a system of six kingdoms
while British, Australian and Latin American
textbooks may describe five kingdoms

Kingdom Taxon
⢠1969 Robert Whittaker recognized an additional kingdom
for the Fungi
⢠Based mainly on differences in nutrition
⢠Plantae were mostly multicellular autotrophs
⢠Animalia multicellular heterotrophs
⢠Fungi multicellular saprotrophs
⢠Protista and Monera, included unicellular and simple
cellular colonies
⢠The five kingdom system may be combined with the two

Importance of Studying Protists
Kingdom Protista
⢠About 40% of primary oxygen production
here on Earth is done by Algae
⢠Protists also serve as a main base of the
microbial food chain
⢠Protists recycle nutrients back to the
environment for use by other organisms
by consuming bacteria and decomposing
dead plants and animals

⢠Protists serve as an important food for many
small aquatic animals
⢠Some protists are responsible for deadly
diseases like malaria, toxoplasmosis and
amoeba
⢠Some scientists believe that protists hold the
key to unraveling the secrets of evolutionary
history

Taxonomy
⢠The taxonomic division that comprises
of all living or extinct plants
⢠There are almost 300,000 different
species of plants on Earth
⢠Plants provide almost all the oxygen
on Earth which is vital for most
organisms
⢠Plants are able to make oxygen
through the process known as
photosynthesis
⢠Plants can make their own food that is
why they are first in the steps to many
food chains in the world

Kingdom Plantae
⢠Plants can be found on land,
oceans, and fresh water
⢠Plants have been on Earth
for millions of years and
even before the existence of
animals
⢠Three main features of
plants that distinguish them
from animals:
o Plants have chlorophyll
o Plantsâ have cell walls which
are made up of cellulose
o Plants are fixed in one place

Kingdom Animalia
⢠All animals are members of the Kingdom Animalia
⢠Characteristics of Animals:
o Multicellular and heterotrophs
o Most ingest food and digest it in an internal cavity
o Animal cells lack the rigid cell walls
o Made up of cells organized into tissues, each tissue specialized to
some degree to perform specific functions
o In most, tissues are organized into even more specialized organs

⢠Characteristics of Animals:
o Most animals are capable of complex and relatively rapid
movement compared to plants and other organisms
o Most reproduce sexually, by means of differentiated eggs and
sperm
o Somewhere around 9 or 10 million species of animals inhabit
the earth
o Animals range in size from no more than a few cells to
organisms weighing many tons, such as blue whales and giant
squid
o Most animals inhabit the seas, with fewer in fresh water and
even fewer on land
