100

This domain is the oldest and it can survive in extreme (hot or salty) environments.

Archaea

100

This kingdom is nicknamed the “junk drawer”

Protista

100

 smallest unit of life 

Cells

100

These are the two languages that the scientific name uses.

Latin & Greek

100

This is the levels of classification from

smallest to largest.

 species, genus, family over, class, phylum, kingdom, domain

200

This is the domain that humans are in.

Eukarya

200

These are the four kingdoms of Eukaryotes

Plantae Animalia Fungi & Protist

200

what structure do multiple cells put together make

Tissues 

200

The genus represents the larger group and the species represents the smaller more specific group. This is Linnaeus’ naming system

Binomial Nomenclature

200

This is the name for a living thing that must eat other things to obtain food. They cannot make their own.

Heterotrophs

300

These two domains are prokaryotic

Archaea & Bacteria

300

A mushroom, a flower, and a bunny are each in these different kingdoms.

Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

300

You brain is made up of brain tissues. The brain, Heart, Lungs, Kidneys what are they?

Organs

300

This is the name of the type of scientists that studies classification.

Taxonomist

300

This is the full name of the father of Taxonomy.

Carolus Linnaeus

400

Eukaryotes are made of this type of cells

Membrane bound cells with a nucleus

400

The kingdom Animalia is very different this is why they can be classified together

Heterotroph & Eukaryotic

400

This is the levels of organization from smallest to largest.

Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism

400

When writing the scientific name this part is always capitalized.

Genus

400

Explain how organisms are classified in the Linnaean system.

Organisms are classified in the Linnaean system using a hierarchical structure that includes categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. broad to specific

500

This is why scientists added the 8th level of classification (Domains) to the top.

To show the difference between Archaea & Bacteria

500

Both of the prokaryotic domains have only one kingdom each. This is their names.

Eubacteria Archeabacteria

500

How do organs relate to organ systems?

Organs are made up of tissues and work together to form organ systems.

500

This is the advantage of using the scientific name instead of the common name.

Shared terminology across the world

What is the importance of classifying organisms in the study of biology?

 to organize and understand the diversity of life?
