taxonomy
the science of giving unique and meaningful names to all the species on Earth
Carolus Linnaeus
in the mid 1700's developed classification system Systema Naturae
systematics

Name the three DOMAINS
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
main characteristics of Domain Bacteria
unicellular prokaryoates (lack nucleus)
heterotrophic (must eat to obtain energy)
cyanbacteria
exception
: autotrophic (can convert energy)
use photosynthesis
main characteristics of Domain Archaea
unicellular prokaryoates
extremophiles
Name the four Kingdoms in Domain Eukarya
Protista
Plantae
Animalia
Fungi
main characteristics of Kingdom Protista
diverse group of microorganisms
unicellular eukaryotic (have nucleus)
all organisms not in other three kingdoms
may be autotrophic or heterotrophic
main characteristics of Kingdom Plantae
most multicellular
have cell walls made of celluose
typically non-motile
autotrophic (convert enery through photosysthesis)
main characteristics of Kingdom Animalia
most multicellular
lack cell walls
many are capable of movement or movement of body parts, at some time
heterotrophic (eat to obtain energy)
main characteristics of Kingdom Fungi
multicellular
typically non moving
cell wall containing chitin (not cellulose)
heterotrophic
many are decomposers (obtain energy by breaking down dead, decaying organisms)
Rules fror naming species
1. binomial
: genus and species epithet
2. unique
3. Latinized

Genus is capitalized, species is not
italicized if typed
underlined if hand written
phylogeny
the evolutionary relationshipd among species ; can be represented by a pattern of ancetry and descent
speciation
the process of evolution of more than one (usually two) new species from a pre-existing species
phylogenetic tree
depicts pattern of ancestry and descent amoung species
tips
: extant species
branches
: relationships among species
nodes
: where braches meet, common ancestor
root
: oldest shared ancestor
outgroup
: rest of the scies
polytomy
: multiple branches in one node
clades
a specific group that includes a common ancestor and all its descendants
shared derived characters
character shared by all members of a clade indentifed by a mark on the branch of tree and desciption
diagnostic characters
unique character used to identify species using a key
