PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Classification of Biodiversity
Three Domains of Life
- Archaea: single-celled organisms, ancient, diverse habitats, extreme conditions(extremophiles) ex. thermophiles(heat-loving),methanophiles(methane-loving), and halophiles (salt-loving)
- Eubacteria: most familiar, make food taste good, helps intestines work, can give an infection
- Eukaryote: all life besides Archaea and bacteria, membrane-bound organelles
Eight Levels of Taxonomy
- Domain
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
Acronym for Taxonomy
- Dearest
- King
- Philip
- Cooks
- Only
- Frogs
- Growing
- Strong
Full Identification of 2 species(human-plant)
- Kingdom-Animalia-Plantae
- Phylum-Chordata-Angiospermophyta
- Class-Mammalia-Dictotyledoneae
- Oder-Primate-Rosales
- Family-Hominidae-Papilionaceae
- Genus-Homo-Pisum
- Species-sapiens-sativum
Binomial Nomenclature
- the system of naming oragnisms using two names
- ex. Myrmecophaga tridactyla ('eater of ants':anteater)
- ex. Lepus articus (Arctic hare)
Plant phyla
- Bryophyta: non-vascular, plants of very short stature; mosses
- Filicinophyta: vascular,ferns and horsetails
- Coniferophyta: woody stems; cedar, juniper, fir, and pine trees
- Angiospermophyta: all plants that make flowers and have seeds surrounded by a fruit

Animal phyla
- Porifera: sponges
- Cnidaria: jellyfish and coral polyps
- Annelida: segmented worms
- Mollusca: snails, clams, and octopuses
- Arthropoda: insects, spiders, and crustaceans
- Chordata: vertebrates, the animals that have a backbone
- Platylhelmintha: flatworms

Vertebrate Animal Classes
- Fish:very diverse aquatic organisms that possess gills to absorb oxygen, and have skulls made of bone or cartilage
- Amphibians: start lives in water,develop lungs, absorb oxygen, ectothermic
- Reptiles: produce amniote eggs, scales,ectothermic
- Birds: bipedal, wings for flight, feathers, lay eggs, lightweight, hollow bones, beaks
- Mammals: hair, females produce milk to feed young, ground, water, or flight, thermoregulation
