What is Carolus Linnaeus known for?

He established a heirarchical structure that ranged from macroscopic organisms to the largest ones, what was the name of this approach?

Linnaean system

Who introduced the three-domain system?

Carl Woese

Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, what are these known as?

The three domains

This domain contains prokaryotic organisms that can be found in many environments.

Bacteria

This domain contains prokaryotic organisms that thrive within extreme environments

Archaea

This domain contains all eukaryotic organisms, which has complex cells with nuclei, including plants, animals, fungi and protists

Eukarya

This kingdom includes multicellular organisms, meaning they can make their own food through photosynthesis

Plantae

This Kingdom includes multicellular organisms that are heterotrophic, obtaining food by eating other organisms.

Animalia

This kingdom is unicellular and multicellular organisms that absorb nutrients from decomposing matter

Fungi

Includes mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms, some of which are autotrophic, like algae, and some are heterotrophic, like protozoa.

Protista

Thing kingdom includes prokaryotic organisms that can be found in common environment, like water or soil.

Eubacteria

This kingdom contains prokaryotic organisms that can be found in extreme environments like hot springs or salty areas.

Archaebacteria

The broadest classification, grouping organisms into three large categories

Domain

Groups organisms based on major characteristics

KIngdom

Groups organisms based on body structure

Phylum

Organisms that share similar characteristics

Class

Groups organisms with even more specific traits

Order

Groups organisms that are closely related

Family

A group of closely related species

Genus

The most specific level; organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring

Species
