TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT.pptx
- 1.
- 2. Taxonomic classification-also knownas biological classification or taxonomy, is a hierarchical system used to organize and categorize all living organisms, both extant and extinct. This system reflects evolutionary relationships, grouping organisms with shared characteristics into increasingly specific categories. The primary goal is to establish a structured framework for understanding the immense diversity of life on Earth.
- 4. domain-is the highestrank of organisms. It's a broad categorization that groups together organisms with fundamental similarities at a very basic level, even more so than kingdoms. Think of it as the broadest possible grouping before you start narrowing down the characteristics of life.
- 5. 3 types ofdomain Bacteria This domain includes all prokaryotic organisms that have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Archaea Also prokaryotic, archaea differ from bacteria in their cell wall composition and membrane lipid structure Eukarya This domain encompasses all organisms with eukaryotic cells, meaning their cells contain a nucleus enclosed within a membrane.

- 6. Kingdom-represents a majordivision of organisms based on shared characteristics like cell structure, mode of nutrition (how they obtain energy), and evolutionary history. It's a fundamental level of biological organization, allowing scientists to categorize the vast diversity of life on Earth in a manageable way.
- 7. 5 kingdom’s Animalia:Includes all animals, like mammals, birds, insects, etc. Plantae: Includes all plants, like trees, flowers, and grasses. Fungi: Includes mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. Protista: A diverse group of mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Monera (or Bacteria and Archaea): Includes prokaryotic organisms, like bacteria and archaea
- 8. PHYLUM-It represents amajor grouping of organisms sharing a common body plan and evolutionary history. Think of it as a broad category encompassing diverse but related life forms. The criteria for defining a phylum have evolved with advancements in genetic analysis and our understanding of evolutionary relationships.
- 9. 9 types ofPhylum Porifera These are sponges, characterized by their cellular level of organization and lack of true tissues. Cnidaria Includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones, known for their radial symmetry and stinging cells (cnidocytes). Platyhelminthes Flatworms, often parasitic, characterized by their dorsoventrally flattened bodies.
- 10. 9 types ofPhylum Nematoda Roundworms, exhibiting a more complex body plan with organ systems. Annelida Segmented worms, like earthworms, with segmented bodies and a coelom. Arthropoda The largest phylum, including insects, crustaceans, and arachnids, with jointed appendages and exoskeletons.
- 11. 9 types ofPhylum Mollusca Snails, clams, and octopuses, known for their soft bodies and often shells. Echinodermata Starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, characterized by radial symmetry and a water vascular system. Chordata Includes vertebrates (animals with backbones) like fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, as well as some invertebrates like tunicates and lancelets.
- 12. Class-The class ranksbelow the phylum and above the order in taxonomy. Members of a class share more characteristics with each other than they do with other organisms in the same phylum.
- 13. 3 types ofclass Mammals is warm-blooded higher vertebrates (such as placentals, marsupials, or monotremes) that nourish their young with milk secreted by mammary glands, have the skin usually more or less covered with hair, and include humans. Aves/Birds They are characterized by having the following features: wings and feathers. laying eggs with a hard shell. being bipedal. Reptilia/Reptiles a group of air-breathing vertebrates characterized by having internal fertilization, amniotic development, and scales or bony plates covering their bodies.
- 14. Order-is a rankwithin the classification of organisms, positioned between class and family. It groups together related families that share more specific characteristics than those of the broader class.
- 15. 3 types ofOrder Carnivore A carnivore is an organism that mostly eats meat, or the flesh of animals. Sometimes carnivores are called predators. Herbivore A herbivore is an animal that primarily or exclusively eats plants. They are adapted to consume and digest plant material, Omnivores an animal or person that eats food of both plant and animal
- 16. Family-taxonomic rank situatedbetween the order and the genus. It groups together genera (and their respective species) that share a significant number of common characteristics, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship.
- 17. Types of family Canidae Thefamily Canidae includes the genera Canis (e.g., wolves, coyotes, dogs) and Vulpes Felidae The family Felidae includes the genera Felis (e.g., domestic cats) and Panthera Rosaceae The family Rosaceae includes various genera of flowering plants like Rosa (roses), Prunus (cherries, plums), and Fragaria (strawberries).
- 18. Genus-is a rankin the classification of organisms, positioned between the family and the species. It groups closely related species that share common characteristics.
- 19. Example of Genus catdog flower
- 20. Example of Genus catdog flower Genus: Puma
- 21. Example of Genus catdog flower Genus: Puma Genus: shih tzu
- 22. Example of Genus catdog flower Genus: Puma Genus: shih tzu Genus: crimson rose
- 23. Species-is the mostspecific rank, representing a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
- 24. Example of Species Thisis a red fox and the Species of it is Vulpes Vulpes
