TAXONOMY



1.    Write the procedure to classify an animal or a green plant.

There are several methods of classify organisms: Autotroph and Heterotrophs, Multicellular and Unicellular, Dichotomous Keys, Cladograms, Binomial Nomenclature. To use the Binomial Nomenclature, developed by Carl Linnaeus, you use: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

2.    What is the function of taxonomy?

Categorize organisms by descriptions, features and names in a hierarchical order, permitting differentiate and group organisms one from another, setting and identifying a natural relationship between them.

First developed by Shen Nung in China, passing to the Greeks like Aristotle, Plato, Plinius, Theophrastus, etc., until get to the 14 and 15 centuries with Carolus Linnaeus and the Binary system, and the one that we use now, modified by other modern scientists and getting a combination of all theories and methods gave since the beginning to the end.

4.    Set the five kingdoms of the nature.

The 3 domains are: Eukarya (cell with nucleus), Archae (bacterias from the prehistory that resist extreme conditions) and Eubacteria (common bacterias)

The 5 kingdoms are: Bacteria (unicellular prokaryote), Protista (unicellular eukaryotes), Animalia (multicellular heterotrophs), Plantae (multicellular green autotrophs) and Fungi (multi and unicellular heterotrophs decomposers)
