The founder of the modern classification system

A group that contains similar organisms

The broadest Taxa including the Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota

Prokaryotic Cells that can cause disease

or live in mutualistic relationships with

other organisms

Prokaryotic Cells that often live in extreme conditions

All organisms that contain Eukaryotic Cells

A major taxonomic group just below Domain

Example: The 4 groups

of Eukaryotic organisms

A major taxonomic group just below Kingdom

Example: Arthropoda all have exoskeletons and jointed legs.

The taxonomic group just below Phylum

Example: Class Mammalia- Animals with fur and who feed their young with milk

The taxonomic group

below Class

Example: Order Primates- Animals with well-developed hands and eyes that face forward allowing for 3D vision.

The taxonomic group

below Order

Example: Canidae, the canines-dogs, wolves, jackals, foxes-the Canines

The taxonomic group below Family.

Example: Ursus, the bears

The taxonomic group below Genus.

Must be able to breed and produce fertile offspring.

Example: Orca-Killer Whales

Scientific Name: Consists of the Genus-species name

The way humans are placed in the taxonomic system

Eukaryotic, heterotrophic, multicellular organism that have no cell walls

Eukaryotic, autotrophic, multicellular organisms with cell walls

Eukaryotic, autotrophic and heterotrophic, unicellular and multicellular organisms like protozoans and algae

Eukaryotic, heterotrophic unicellular and multicellular organisms like mushrooms and yeast
