Ways of Classifying Organisms

• Anatomical features

• Embryological similarities

• Phylogenetic relationship

Poll

Would you rename yourself given the chance?

• Yes

• No

Multiple Select

What 3 characteristics are used to classify organisms?

• Cell structure

• Mode of nutrition

• Cellularity

• Movement

• Habitat

Examples of chemoautotrophs are sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (ex. Cyanobacteria) and iron-oxidizing bacteria.
