Classification System
Aristotle’s classification system
◦This early classification
system were based on
visible structural
differences.
◦2 divisions
◦Plants and Animals
Now we have 6 KINGDOM system
Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
◦ Includes ALL Prokaryotic
organisms
◦ Eubacteria contain all disease
causing and beneficial
bacteria
◦ Archaebacteria are mainly
found in extreme environments
such as the deep oceans, hot
springs and swamps.
Protist kingdom
◦ Eukaryotic organisms that are either unicellular or multicellular.
◦ They lack complex organ systems
◦ Live in moist environments
Fungi kingdom
◦ Fungi are consumers that do not
move.
◦ They are unicellular and multi cellular
heterotrophic eukaryotes that
absorb nutrients from decomposing
dead organisms and wastes in the
environment.
◦ Example: Mushroom, Yeast and Mold
Plant kingdom
◦ Photosynthetic multicellular eukaryotes
◦ Cellulose cell walls
◦ Tissues have been organized into organs and organ systems
Animal kingdom
◦ Multicellular eukaryotic
consumers
◦ Cells do not have cell walls
◦ Their tissues have been
organized into complex organ
systems such as nervous
system, muscle system and
digestive system.
Taxonomy
◦The branch of biology dealing with
the grouping and naming of
organisms.
◦The person who studies taxonomy is
called a taxonomist.
Classification System
◦Classification is the grouping of objects
based on similarities. Modern levels of
classification are:
