Taxonomy

A. What’s New
Classification - Putting things into groups based on how they are the same.
Taxonomy - The study of identifying, classifying, and naming living things.

B. What Is It
The six kingdoms are as follows: Kingdom Animalia, Plantae, Protista, Fungi,
Achaebacteria and Eubacteria.

Levels of Classification- there are seven major biological groupings or levels of

classification that we follow. Kingdom is the largest group in the system of
classification. This is divided into phyla (phylum) in the animal kingdom.
However, in plants this is equivalent to the division. Each division or phyla is
divided into classes; these classes are divided into orders and orders into families,
then family into genera (genus) and so on down to the smallest unit, which is the
species. The species is the basic unit of classification.

• An easy way to understand the descending nature (largest to smallest) of

scientific grouping is to compare it with the general to specific
information on where a certain person lives.
