This document provides information on biological classification systems. It discusses why classifying living things is important, provides a brief history of classification methods, and describes the current system of classification. The current system is based on 3 domains - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya - which are further divided into kingdoms based on characteristics like cell structure, nutrition, and whether organisms are unicellular or multicellular. The 6 kingdoms are Bacteria, Archaea, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Each kingdom has distinguishing features that are described.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. DIVERSITY
• Biological diversity refers to the global variety
of species and ecosystems and the ecological
processes of which they are part, covering
three components:
– genetic,
– species,
– and ecosystem diversity.
4. Why Classify?
There are more than 2.5 million different
living things on earth.
Millions more have not yet been discovered.
Life is diverse and needs to be organized.
It is organized so that scientists all over the
world have a universal method of classifying.
Organisms are placed into groups with
biological similarities.
5. Classification
• Taxonomy = science of naming and classifying
organisms
• Aristotle — classified according to similar
structures in plants and animals
6. History of Classification:
• Aristotle - 2000 years ago
• Plant or Animal
Stem differences Land dweller
Water dweller
Air dweller
7. Problems with this early system:
• Some plants and animals couldn’t be
classified using this system.
• People also used common names.
1. Common names - don’t describe things
accurately
• Example:
Jellyfish is not a fish
8. 2. Same common name for different species
Maple Trees = Silver Maple, Sugar Maple, &
Red Maple are each different species
9. Cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma
• By the 1700’s
scientists realized that
common names were
too confusing.
• They vary among
languages and even
regions.
10. 1st attempt used physical descriptions in great detail.
• “Oak with deeply
divided veins that have
no hairs on their
undersides and no
teeth around their
edges”
11. Carolus Linnaeus
• Simplified naming and
developed a system of
binomial nomenclature
• Binomial
Nomenclature - “two
names”
12. Classification: Scientific Names
• Consists of genus (plural is genera) and species
• Genus is always started with a capital letter
• Species is always lower case
• Scientific names are italicized (or underlined)
just as book titles are
• Examples:
– Quercus rubra (red oak)
– Quercus phellos (willow oak)
– Apis mellifera (European honeybee)
– Homo sapiens (humans)
14. The role of taxonomy
Taxonomy:
1. works out a vivid picture of the existing diversity of
life on earth,
2. provides much of the information permitting a
reconstruction of the history of life on earth,
3. reveals numerous interesting evolutionary
phenomena,
4. supplies classifications which are of great
explanatory value in biology and paleontology.
15. Biological Classification Systems
• All biological classification systems have three
important characteristics:
1. Single, universally accepted name to each
organism,
2. Organisms are placed into groups that have real
biological meaning (shared characteristics),
3. Established rules for grouping organisms.
16.
17. Current Classification of Organisms
• Broadest taxon is now the domain
– Developed to keep existing system in place and still account
for newer discoveries from Woese and associates
– Based on rRNA sequences
– 3 domains are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya
• Bacteria is thought to be oldest and has kingdom of
Eubacteria
• Archae has single kingdom of archeabacteria
• Eukarya has the four eukaryotic kingdoms of fungi,
protista, animalia, and plantae
18. Phylogenic Tree Based on rRNA
protista
Animalae
Fungi
Plantae
EukaryaArchaeaBacteria
19. Classifying Organisms
• Six kingdoms within the 3 domains are based on
– Cell type (prokaryotic are in the domains of archaea
and bacteria, eukaryotic are in domain of eukarya)
– Cell walls (all kingdoms except animalae have cell
walls, but materials in the walls differ)
– Body type (unicellular or multicellular)
• Two are only unicellular
• Two consist of both unicellular and multicellular
• Two consist of only multicellular, many of which have
tissues and organs
– Nutrition (autotrophs, heterotrophs)
20. Kingdom / Domain Characteristics

M A Ferns, pine trees
Eukarya Animalae E None M H Birds, earthworms
KEY: P = prokaryotic; E = eukaryotic; U = unicellular; M = multicellular;
A = autotrophic; H = heterotrophic
21. Multicellularity
• Some organisms are successful as single-celled
organisms, but others develop as members of
coordinated groups of cells
• Colonies — a group of cells that are associated
permanently, but do not communicate with one
another; i.e., Volvox (a protista)
• Aggregations — a temporary collection of cells that
come together for a time and then separate; i.e.,
plasmodial slime mold (single-celled much of life but
aggregates when starved)
• True multicellularity — composed of many cells that
are permanently associated and communicate /
coordinate their activities
22. Complex Multicellularity
• Plants and animals have complex
multicellularity where cells are differentiated
• Differentiation — process after cell division
when a cell develops a specialized form and
function
• Complex organisms develop specialized cells
organized into tissues
• Tissues are organized into organs and then
organ systems
23. Domain Bacteria 1
• Has one kingdom of Eubacteria
• Cells vary in size from 0.1 to 15 μm
• Found in practically every environment on Earth
• Similar in physical structure, no internal compartments
(organelles)
• Classification characteristics
– Strong cell wall of peptidoglycan, a weblike molecule of
carbohydrate strands cross-linked by short peptide bridges
– Gene structure has no introns and is transcribed as a single
mRNA
– Gene translation apparatus is still being defined and is
based in part on amino acid sequences of ribosome proteins
and RNA polymerase
24. Domain Bacteria 2
• Kinds
– More bacteria in your mouth than mammals on Earth
– May be
• Disease cause
• Harmless
• Useful
– Energy from inorganic compounds as H2S, NH3, CH4
– Some are photosynthetic (autotrophic / producers) while
some are heterotrophic (consumers)
– Some of the heterotrophic bacteria are capable of living
without oxygen (anaerobic)
• Important as decomposers and responsible for
recycling carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus
25. Domain Archaea
• Contains a single kingdom, Archaebacteria
• Prokaryotic that diverged from bacteria very
early, and more closely related to eukaryotic
organisms
• Characteristics of
– Cell wall and membrane does not have
peptidoglycan, but contains lipids different from
eukaryotes
– Gene structure has interrupted introns
– Ribosomal proteins similar to those of eukaryotes
26. Domain Archaea 2
• Several signature sequences of DNA are common to all
archaebacteria
• Originally identified in extreme conditions (as on
Antarctica), recently found in soils and seawater
• Three basic kinds of archaebacteria
– Methanogens — obtain energy by combining hydrogen gas
and carbon dioxide to form methane gas, live deep in
swamps, and are poisoned by traces of oxygen
– Extremophiles — thermophiles live in hot places, halophiles
live in salty places, others live in very acid places or under
extreme pressures
– Nonextreme archaebacteria — found in all the same
environments that bacteria live in
27. Domain Eukarya
• Made of 4 kingdoms
• Similarities include a highly organized cell
interior (organelles), which allows for
specialization of function within the cell
• Multicellularity occurs in Eukarya only (not in all
kingdoms)
• Sexual reproduction (not in all kingdoms)
28. Protista
• Protista is a grouping of mostly unicellular , but
some multicellular organisms that have little of
nothing in common with any other kingdom of
Eukarya other than being eukaryotic
• Many are aquatic
• Some are photosynthetic, some are fungus like
and some are animal like
• Grouped into 6 groups based on physical or
nutritional characteristics
29. Protista 2
• Use pseudopodia
– Pseudopodia means “false feet” and are extensions of the cytoplasm
– Amoebas and forams included in this phylum
– Amoebas have flexible cell surface with no cell wall
– Forams have porous shells through which long, thin projections of
cytoplasm can be extended
• Use flagella
– Flagella appear as hair-like whips used to move the organism
– Cilia are small hair-like protrusions that are found in large number on the
organism and act as to move the organism
– Ciliates and flagellates are different enough that some biologist list them
as a separate phylum
– Includes some autotrophs and some heterotrophs
30. Protista 3
• With double shells
– Diatoms are photosynthetic protists with unique
double shells made of silica, like boxes with lids
– Part of plankton and may be found in freshwater or
in marine environments
• Photosynthetic algae
– Types of algae determined by type of chlorophyll it
contains
– Many are multicellular and can reproduce sexually
– Freshwater and marine environments
31. Protista 4
• Funguslike protists
– Slime molds and water molds are often confused
with fungi because they aggregate in times of stress
to produce spore-producing bodies
– Found in freshwater, damp soil and on forest floors
• Spore-forming protists
– Sporozoans are nonmotile, unicellular parasites that
form spores
– Responsible for many significant disease including
malaria
– Have a complex life cycles
32. Fungi
• Unusual and successful group of organisms
• Most are multicellular except for the yeasts
• Cell walls contain chitin (same material that
makes up a crab shell)
• Made up of long strands of cells connected end
to end called hyphae
• May pack together to form complex
reproductive structures as mushrooms
• Reproduce by variety of asexual and sexual
methods
33. Fungi 2
• Nonmotile like plants
• Not photosynthetic (heterotrophs)
• Do not ingest food as animals do
• Secrete digestive enzymes onto whatever they
are growing on
• Many are saprophytes that live on dead
organisms, while many are parasites that live on
organisms and cause diseases
• Three phyla distinguished by their type of
reproductive structures
34. Fungi 3
• Zygomycetes form structures for sexual
reproduction called zygosporangia and includes
Rhizopus stononifer (or common bread mold)
• Basidiomycetes include fungi that make
mushrooms, which are their sexual reproductive
structures produced
• Ascomycetes form sexual spores in special
saclike structures called asci. Their
reproductive structures often resemble a
cuplike structure and are called ascocarp
35. Plantae
• Complex multicellular autotrophs with specialized cells and
tissues
– Vascular tissues is made of specialized cells playing a role in
transporting water and dissolved nutrients
• Cell walls made of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate
• Cannot move from place to place though some species of plants
have motile sperm; most are rooted to ground
• Portable reproductive structures as spores and seeds enable
dispersal of plants
• Autotrophs so primary producers
• Release oxygen gas
• Cycle phosphorus, water, nitrogen and carbon
• Covers every part of the terrestrial landscape, except for
extreme polar regions and highest mountaintops
• Food sources for humans and other animals
36. Plantae 2
• Nonvascular — lack the vascular tissues to transport
water and nutrients and lack true roots, leaves and
stems; includes mosses
• Vascular — have tissues to transport water and
dissolved nutrients and true roots, leaves and stems
– Seedless vascular — most common are ferns
• Have true roots, stems and leaves
• Surfaces coated with a waxy covering to reduce water lose
• Reproduce by spores that are resistant to drying
– Seed plants — pine trees, roses, apple trees, grasses
• Nonflowering — gymnospermae
• Flowering — angiospermae
37. Animalia
• Lack cell walls
• Complex multicellular heterotrophs, cells mostly diploid and
organized as tissues
• Zygotes develop through several stages
• Specialized tissue called muscle enables them to move about
readily and even flight in some species
• Most reproduce sexually
• 99% are invertebrates (lack a backbone), rest are vertebrates
• About 35 phyla, most of which live in marine environments,
some in freshwater, and fewer still on land
• From 0.5 mm to 100 ft in size
• Roughly grouped into 6 categories: sponges and cnidarians,
mollusks, worms, arthropods, echinoderms, vertebrates
