Classification

Compare viruses and bacteria using the table below" Bacteria Prokaryotic is a living organism Does not need a host to reproduce Reproduces by binary fission Virus non-living needs a host to reproduce The 6 Kingdoms of Life Match the descriptions with the correct Kingdom Kingdom Archaebacteria Ancient prokaryotic organisms that live in extreme conditions (Ex: Extremely hot or extremely salty) Kingdom Eubacteria A more common type of unicellular prokaryotic organisms. Hint: Organisms from this kingdom are on you right now! Kingdom Protista Eukaryotic some organisms in this kingdom are unicellular while other organisms in this kingdom are multicellular. Same goes for their diet. Some organisms are autotrophic while others are heterotrophic Kingdom Fungi Kingdom of eukaryotic organisms that are mostly multicellular heterotrophs that contain a cell wall Kingdom Plantae Kingdom of eukaryotic muticellular autotrophic organisms that contain a cell wall Kingdom Animalia Kingdom of motile eukaryotic organisms that are all muticellular heterotrophs Fill in the blanks using the words provided in the drop down box to demonstrate your understanding of classification. The broadest level of taxonomy is domain while the most specific level of taxonomy is species. The taxonomy level with the least abundant amount of organisms is species while the levels of kingdom the most organisms. Use the words provided in the drop down box to complete the following sentences on how scientists name organisms. Binomial nomenclatureis a two-name naming system developed by Linnaeus in order to give organisms a scientific name. The two taxon levels that make up the scientific name of an organism are genus and species. When writing a scientific name, genus should always be capitalized and species should always be lowercase. Scientific names should always be typed in italics.
