1. NAMING &CLASSIFICATION
In Life Science

2. There are about 380 000 different kinds of plants and about 2 million, of animals
each organism should have a precise, internationally recognized, NAME.
3. TAXONOMY
Concerned with naming organisms and classifying them into groups is known as TAXONOMY
TAXONOMY (based on structure) or SYSTEMATICS(based on evolutionary classification).
4. Levels of Classification
-based on contributions of both Aristotle and Linnaeus
There are 7 levels of classification.
Remember the first letter of this sentence:
King Philip Came Over For Good Spaghetti.
5. 7 Levels of Classification
Kingdom broadest level
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Speciesmost specific
6. The major classification levels,from most general to most specific
(several of these have subdivisions)
A group at any level is a taxon.
7. 8. 9. 10. KINGDOM : Monera (BACTERIA)
KINGDOM : Protista (AMOEBA)
KINGDOM : Fungi
KINGDOM : Plants
KINGDOM : Animals
THE FIVE KINGDOM SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION
11. Swedish botanist Carl Linne (more popularly known as Linnaeus, after the common practice of the day which was to latinize names of learned men), attempted to pigeon-hole all known species of his time (1753) into immutable categories.
Linnaean hierarchical classification was based on the premise that the species was the smallest unit, and that each species (or taxon) belonged to a higher category.

13. 14. BINOMIAL NAMING
For international understanding
Man in English is Hombre in Spanish, Herr in German, and Homo in Latin
Linnaeus settled on Latin
An organisms proper name is indicated by its generic name (the genus to which it belongs) followed by its specific name (its species).
15. When printed, these names always appear in italics; when typed or written by hand; they must be underlined (separately) and the generic name must being with a Capital letter; the specific name, with a small letter
For example, Felis leo;
Felisdomestica
16. 17. VIRUSES
On the borderline between living and non-living. Can only be seen with the electron microscope. No cell structure. Reproduce inside other organisms and cause diseases
18. BACTERIA KINGDOM
mm
Can only be seen with the high power of the light microscope. Consist of a single cell with a wall; no proper nucleus Occur in air, water, soil or inside other organisms. Many of them cause diseases
19. Prokaryotic Cell
20. PROTIST KINGDOM
Some can be seen with the low power of the microscope. Consist of a singly cell. Some are plant-like and others are animal-like. Live mainly in water or inside other organisms.
21. Eukaryotic Cell
22. FUNGUS KINGDOM
m
Consistof fine threads which may be interwoven to form mushrooms or toadstools.
Live in soil or inside other organisms, especially plants. Reproduce rapidly by spores Have no chlorophyll
23. PLANT KINGDOM
Many-celled organisms, which contain the green substance chlorophyll and make their own food by photosynthesis.
24. How are plants organized?
PLANTS
Vascular
Nonvascular
Seedless Plants
Seed Plants
Ferns & related plants
Mosses & related plants
Angiosperms
Gymnosperms
25. Vascular Plants
plants that have tube-like cells in their roots, stems, & leaves that carry H2O and nutrients
Vascular Plants-

Vascular comes from the Latin word vasculum which means vessel

26. they lose their leaves like a pet sheds 27. roots, stems, and leaves of a plant are all called organs
