Title: Binomial Nomenclature


1
Binomial Nomenclature
2
Rules for Naming Organisms
  • All names must be approved by International
    Naming Congresses (International Zoological
    Congress)
  • This prevents duplicated names

3
Organizing Organisms
  • There is a hierarchy of groups (taxa) from most
    general to most specific
  • Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family,
    Genus, species, subspecies
  • Division is used instead of Phylum when talking
    about plants

  • Dumb
  • King
  • Phillip
  • Came
  • Over
  • For
  • Good
  • Spicy

Domains
  • Broadest, most generalized group
  • Three domains
  • 1. Archaea and 2. Eubacteria are unicellular
    prokaryotes (no nucleus or membrane-bound
    organelles)
  • 3. Eukarya are more complex and have a nucleus
    and membrane-bound organelles (eukaryotic cells)

7
Domain Archaea
Domain Archaea has one Kingdom
Archeabacteria Archeabacteria live in harsh
environments and may represent the first cells to
have evolved. Sewage treatment
plants, thermal
vents, etc.
8
Domain Eubacteria
  • Domain Eubacteria has one KingdomBacteria, some
    of which cause human diseases, are present in
    almost all habitats on earth.
  • Many bacteria are important
    environmentally and
    commercially.

9
Domain Eukarya
  • Domain Eukarya is the largest domain
  • It is split into 4 Kingdoms
  • Kingdom Protista
  • Kingdom Fungi
  • Kingdom Plantae
  • Kingdom Animalia

10
KingdomProtista
  • Most are unicellular
  • Some are multicellular
  • Some are autotrophic, while others are
    heterotrophic

11
Kingdom Fungi
  • Multicellular, except yeast
  • Absorptive heterotrophs (digest food
    outside their body then
    absorb it)
