Most organisms are known by their common names, which vary by region and language. They also have scientific names based on their classification. How are scientific names determined?

• by using trinomial nomenclature, where the first part of an organism's name is its order, the second part is its kingdom, and the third part is its phylum

• by using polynomial nomenclature, where the first part of organism's name its it order, followed by its domain, species, and kingdom

• by using binomial nomenclature, where the first part of an organism's name is its genus, and the second part is its species

• by using uninomial nomenclature, where the single name is a combination of the kingdom and
