What is the importance of classifying living things?
is the science of classifying living organisms based on
shared characteristics. It helps scientists organize and
understand the vast diversity of life by grouping
organisms in a hierarchical system. This classification
makes it easier to study relationships and evolutionary
history.
1
To make the study of
organisms easier
2
To clearly communicate
about living things with
people despite language
differences
3
To explore how various
living things are related to
each other
We classify living things in groups...
Why do we classify?

Binomial Nomenclature &
7 Ranks
Introduced naming system (Genus species), 7
taxonomic ranks: Kingdom, Phylum, Class,
Order, Family, Genus, Species; 2 kingdoms:
Animalia, Plantae.
1866 Ernst Haeckel Third Kingdom – Protista
Created Protista for microorganisms that didn’t
fit plants or animals (e.g., algae, protozoa).
1969
Robert
Whittaker
Five-Kingdom System
Added Monera (prokaryotes) and Fungi as
separate kingdoms; system became: Monera,
Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.
1977
Carl Woese &
George Fox
Discovery of Archaea
Used ribosomal RNA sequencing to find a
distinct group of prokaryotes (Archaea)
different from Bacteria.
1990 Carl Woese Three-Domain System
Added “Domain” as the highest rank; domains:
Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.

• Peptidoglycan is a complex molecule that forms the cell wall of
eubacteria (true bacteria). It provides structural support and
protection to bacterial cells.
The Kingdom Protista includes diverse, mostly
unicellular eukaryotic organisms that do not fit
into the kingdoms of plants, animals, or fungi.
Characteristics of Protists:
✅ Eukaryotic (have a nucleus).
✅ Mostly unicellular, but some are multicellular (e.g., seaweeds).
✅ Can be autotrophic (make their own food) or heterotrophic
(consume food).
✅ Live in aquatic or moist environments.
How to Write a Scientific Name
1.Two words only → Genus + species (binomial nomenclature).
1.Example: Homo sapiens
2. Genus → Always starts with a capital letter.
species → Always starts with a small letter.
3. Underline when handwritten. (Homo sapiens)
4. Italicize when typed. (Homo sapiens)
5.Write in Latin or Latinized form
Scientific Names
Scientific name: Pithecophaga jefferyi
of the Linnaean system of biological
classification
A domain in biological classification is the highest
taxonomic rank, which groups organisms based
on fundamental differences in their cellular and
genetic structure.
A biological classification is one of the highest
taxonomic ranks, just below the domain, used to
group together all forms of life that share
fundamental structural and functional
characteristics.
• Animalia → Felis catus (cat), Homo sapiens (human)
• Plantae → Mangifera indica (mango), Zea mays
(corn)
• Fungi → Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), Agaricus
bisporus (mushroom)
• Protista → Euglena, Paramecium
• Eubacteria → Escherichia coli
• Archaebacteria → Methanogens, Thermococcus
Phylum is a classification level beneath kingdom
and groups together organisms with similar body
plans or structures, allowing scientists to further
categorize and study different types of living
things.
Class is a classification level below phylum
and groups together organisms that share
even more specific characteristics. It
consist of several orders.
Order is a classification level beneath class
and further organizes organisms based on
even more specific similarities in their
characteristics and behaviors. It allows
scientists to group together organisms that
are more closely related. It consists of
several related families.
Family is a taxonomic classification that groups
together organisms with even more specific
similarities, such as similar body structures
and behaviors. It helps scientists categorize
organisms into smaller, more closely related
groups for further study and understanding.
Consist of several related genera (singular:
Genus)
Genus consists of several related
species
A species is the most specific level of organism
classification in biological taxonomy,
representing a group of individuals that can
interbreed and produce fertile offspring in
natural conditions. Members of a species share
common characteristics and genetic similarities.
a unique, two-part name given to each species of
organism. It consists of the genus name (the first part)
the first letter is written in capital letter and the species
name (the second part) this is written in lowercase
letter, both written in Latin and italicized. This naming
system,
known as binomial nomenclature, allows scientists
worldwide to communicate effectively about specific
organisms.

Classification systems are used to organize and
categorize living organisms based on their
characteristics, relationships, and evolutionary history.
The most widely used classification system is the
Linnaean system, which categorizes organisms into a
hierarchical structure of seven levels: kingdom, phylum,
class, order, family, genus, and species.

The six-kingdom classification system was
proposed by American microbiologist and cell
biologist Carl Woese in the 1970s. Woese's
work focused on the study of ribosomal RNA
(rRNA) sequences, which revealed significant
differences between certain groups of bacteria.
This led to the recognition of the Archaea
domain and the proposal of the six-kingdom
system, which provided a more accurate
classification of living organisms based on
genetic relationships.
The three-domain classification system was
proposed by American microbiologist and
molecular biologist Carl Woese in the late 20th
century. The three-domain system is a
biological classification system that categorizes
all living organisms into three major domains
based on molecular data, primarily ribosomal
RNA (rRNA) sequences.
• Prokaryotic (no nucleus)
• Cell walls contain peptidoglycan
• Found everywhere (soil, water, inside us)
• Example: Escherichia coli, Streptococcus
• Prokaryotic, but genetically different from
bacteria
• Cell walls do NOT contain peptidoglycan
• Live in extreme environments (hot springs,
salt lakes)
• Example: Methanogens, Halophiles
• Eukaryotic – cells have a nucleus and
organelles
• Includes 4 kingdoms: Protista, Fungi,
Plantae, Animalia
• Example: Humans, trees, fungi, algae
