Carolus Linnaeus developed a system of classification in the 18th century that is still used today called binomial nomenclature. It assigns every living thing a two-part scientific name - the first part being the genus, a broader group, and the second being the specific epithet or species, a more precise classification. Some examples given are Canis familiaris for the domestic dog and Panthera leo for the lion. This system provides a standardized Latin naming convention that is universally understood for living organisms.
Classification involves grouping things together based on similarities. There are two main types of classification: taxonomy, which classifies living things; and systems created by Aristotle and Carolus Linnaeus. Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature, using a two-word Latin naming system with the genus as the first word and specific epithet as the second to precisely classify organisms. This scientific naming convention using capitalized genus and lowercase specific epithet is still used today.
Classification of living things is organized using taxonomy to group organisms according to their biological similarities. There are over 2.5 million known living things on Earth. Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of binomial nomenclature in the 1700s using the genus and species of each organism. This was an improvement over earlier classification systems as it used consistent Latin names to universally identify organisms rather than common names that varied between languages and regions. Modern taxonomy still uses Linnaeus' seven-level classification system moving from broadest to most specific of: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
This document discusses taxonomic classification of life. It begins by stating the objectives of classifying organisms into a hierarchy of groups based on similarities and characteristics, and describing the Linnaean system of classification. It then provides background on taxonomy and classification, noting that while individuals have unique characteristics, classification is based on analyzing similarities and differences. The document goes on to discuss early taxonomic classification by Aristotle and other scientists, leading to the modern system developed by Carolus Linnaeus using binomial nomenclature.
This document discusses the concepts and history of systematic zoology and taxonomy. It defines taxonomy as the classification of living things and systematics as the scientific study of diversity and relationships among organisms. It outlines the contributions of taxonomy in fields like epidemiology and wildlife management. The document then discusses the scope of taxonomy, problems in taxonomy, and provides a history of taxonomy from Aristotle to modern molecular systematics approaches.
Scientists classify the millions of known species according to a biological classification system involving seven main levels from broadest to most specific: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This system, developed by Carolus Linnaeus, involves assigning each species a binomial scientific name comprising its genus and specific epithet. Identification guides use keys that provide paired statements describing physical characteristics to help distinguish between similar organisms.
The document discusses the classification of living things into five kingdoms: Protista, Monera, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. It provides details on some of the key characteristics of each kingdom, such as Protists being single-celled organisms that can photosynthesize, absorb, or ingest food, and Monera consisting of bacteria and cyanobacteria that absorb food and lack nuclei. Examples of organisms from several kingdoms are also given, like paramecium and amoebas for Protists, and Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli for Monera. The document seeks to explain the science of classifying organisms according to structural similarities.
This document provides an overview of biological diversity and classification systems. It discusses how living organisms can be found in all environments on Earth and estimates that 40% of species remain undiscovered. The document then explains the importance of classification for organizing the study of life forms and outlines several classification systems, including the two kingdom, three kingdom, and five kingdom systems. It provides flow charts illustrating the plant and animal kingdoms.
The document provides information about the classification of living organisms. It discusses that biologists have created a system to classify organisms based on their similarities and differences, with more similar organisms classified together. It also describes some of the basic classification ranks from domain to species. The purpose of classification is to simplify the study of the diversity of life.
This document provides an overview of the classification of living things. It begins by outlining the seven characteristics of living organisms: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition. It then discusses the classification of organisms using Carolus Linnaeus' hierarchical system with seven levels from kingdom to species. Examples are given of classifying bacteria, protozoa like amoebas and paramecium, and algae like spirogyra. The document emphasizes that classification helps to study, identify, and communicate information about living things.
The document provides an overview of the key concepts in the science of biology. It discusses what science aims to do and outlines the scientific method. It describes different types of observations, data expressions, and graphs that are used. Key experiments in biology like those conducted by Redi, Pasteur, and Needham are summarized. The characteristics of living things and levels of biological organization from subatomic to biosphere are highlighted. Different branches of biology are also listed.

This document provides an overview of biological classification. It explains that classification involves grouping organisms based on shared characteristics. The modern 7-level classification system consists of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, with kingdom being the largest group and species the smallest. Key groups like animals, plants, vertebrates and invertebrates are defined. Characteristics of major animal groups like mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are outlined. The plant kingdom is also divided into vascular and non-vascular plants.
The history of taxonomy is described in four periods by Mayr. The first period focused on local fauna studies by ancient Greek scholars like Aristotle. The second period was marked by the acceptance of evolution, influenced by Darwin's ideas. The third period saw the rise of population systematics in the 1930s, where Mayr defined species as interbreeding natural populations. Current taxonomy in the fourth period utilizes a wide range of data beyond just morphology, including genetics, biochemistry, and behavior.
The document discusses the classification of living things. It explains that Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of binomial nomenclature over 200 years ago to scientifically name organisms. Each organism is given a two-word Latin name with the genus as the first word and the species as the second word, following specific rules. There are 7 levels of classification for organisms from broadest (kingdom) to most specific (species). The document provides examples and explanations of scientific naming and the levels of biological classification.
This document provides an overview of classifying organisms into a biological hierarchy. It discusses how Carolus Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature to scientifically name each species, and a classification system that organized species into seven taxa: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom based on anatomical similarities. Over time, problems with this traditional classification system emerged as it did not always reflect evolutionary relationships between organisms.
Taxonomy is the branch of biology concerned with classifying and naming organisms. Biologists who study taxonomy are called taxonomists. Key points covered in the document include:
- Taxonomy involves grouping organisms in a hierarchical system from broadest (kingdom) to most specific (species) levels.
- Carl Linnaeus is considered the father of taxonomy for developing the binomial nomenclature system of classifying organisms using genera and species names that is still used today.
- There are estimated to be 8.7 million total species on Earth across the kingdoms of life.
This document provides information about taxonomy and biological classification. It discusses why biologists classify organisms and defines taxonomy as the branch of biology that groups and names organisms based on their characteristics. It describes how Carolus Linnaeus developed the binomial nomenclature system for scientific naming of organisms. This system uses the genus and specific epithet to uniquely identify each species. The document outlines the taxonomic hierarchy from kingdom down to species and explains how living things are classified into a logical categorization system based on their evolutionary relationships.

3. Classification systems
Gr 7 Natural Sciences - Term 1, Topic 2
We classify objects when we group them
with similar objects.
This makes it easier for us to make sense
of the world around us.
We group things all the time:
for example, kitchen utensils are grouped
into cutlery, plates, bowls and pots.
4. Classification of Living Organisms
Gr 7 Natural Sciences - Term 1, Topic 2
Biologists sort living organisms into groups
to make it easier to study them.
Grouping of living organisms is called
biological classification.
Living organisms are divided into five main
groups called KINGDOMS.
These are the bacteria, protists, fungi,
plants and animals.
