Carolus Linnaeus
Developed
seven-level
system of
classification
1700’s
Swedish Scientist
Father of Taxonomy
Only had __2__ Kingdoms:
Plants and
Animals
Plantia Kingdom
• Organisms (plants) that produce food through a process called photosynthesis
• Absorb Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen for people to breathe
• Produce covering and food for living organisms
• Plantia Kingdom is broken up in 12 different phylums
Animalia Kingdom
This Kingdom is the most and least familiar to us Over 1,000,000 species are classified in this kingdom Animals are separated into 33 different phylums (phyla) The Arthropod phylum would probably be well over 10
million species if scientists could identify every one in the rain forests
Chordata AnnelidaEchinoderm
Fungi Kingdom
Simple organisms having animal and plant like characteristics
They are not producers (able to create own food) Decomposers- feed on remains of dead organisms 40,000 different species of Fungi
Molds and Mildew Toadstools
Mushrooms
Protistia Kingdom
Set up to categorize all organisms that did not fit into any other kingdoms
Organisms are unicellular and multicellular
Made up of 60,000 different organisms
Not bacteria Includes algae and slime molds
Archaebacteria
• Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under conditions with no oxygen or highly acid environments.
• unicellular (one cell) organisms
Sulfolobus
Eubacteria
• complex and single celled.
• Most bacteria are in the this kingdom.
• classified in their own kingdom because their chemical makeup is different.
• Most eubacteria are helpful. Some produce vitamins and foods like yogurt.
• Others make you sick, such as Streptococci (strep throat)
E. Coli
Streptococci (strep throat)

Putting things into orderly groups based on similar characteristics
Binomial Nomenclature
• Scholars before Linnaeus used names that were as long as 12 words to identify species
• Linnaeus created Binomial Nomenclature to simplify taxonomy
Elephas maximus
Genus Name
First letter always CAPITALIZED
Italicized or Underlined
Species Name
Never capitalized
Italicized or Underlined
Organism Binomial Nomenclature
Panthera leo
Tulipa gesneriana
Rangifer tarandus
