What does a taxonomist do?

its genus name and its species name

An organism's scientific name consists of...

species

What is the most specific classification level?

They live in extremely harsh environments

Where would an organism from Domain Archaebacteria most likely live?

Family

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, _________, Genus, species.  What is the missing level?

taxonomy

The science of classifying living organisms is called _________________________.

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

Which Domains are prokaryotic?

Eukarya

Protists belong to which Domain?

domain

What is the broadest classification level?

Carolus Linnaeus

Who first classified living things into kingdoms and is called the "Father of Taxonomy"?

Autotrophs

Organisms who can make their own food are called ______________.

Asexual

Organisms who only have one parent go through _________________ reproduction.

Multicellular

Organisms that are made up of many cells are called _______________.

Bacteria

Which of the following is NOT part of the Domain Eukarya?

All members have cells with a nucleus, but they can be multicellular or unicellular

Which statement best describes the Domain Eukarya?

Classification

the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities

Aristotle

Who was the first taxonomist?

plants and animals

What did Aristotle divide organisms to?

John Ray

Who was the first to use Latin for naming?

Remember: John Ray is a simple name, he needed to make a more complex system to name organisms because their names were too simple

How can you remember what John Ray did/who he was?

Carolus Linnaeus

Who developed the naming system we still use today?

binomial nomenclature

What is the modern system of naming known as?

domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

What are the taxa in order from broadest to most specific?

archaea, bacteria, eukarya

What are the 3 domains?

archaea and bacteria

Which domain(s) is/are unicellular prokaryotes

eukarya

Which domain(s) is/are more complex and have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

archaebacteria

What kingdom lives in harsh environments?

eubacteria

Which kingdom may cause disease, are found in all habitats except harsh ones, and are important decomposers for environment?

protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia
