grouping of different types of organisms based upon similarities in structure and evolutionary relationships
In order to more easily study the unity and diversity of living organisms in an organized manner, biologists classify organisms
This means that they group organisms together based on their common characteristics
Physical structure is often the primary basis for biological classification
Carolus Linneaus devised binomial nomenclature.
KINGDOM PHYLUM CLASS ORDER FAMILY GENUS SPECIES
Archaebacteria: most primitive and often live in extreme environment. Harsh environments
Kingdom Monera: Bacteria and blue green algae. Three basic types of bacteria are coccus, baccillus, and spirillum.
kingdom protista: predominately unicellular organisms with plant or animal-like characteristics.
