Taxonomy Rank and the 6 Kingdoms
Cards (29)
- The highest taxonomic rank, specified based on the differences in their cellular and genetic structure.
- Second highest in taxonomic rank, groups together all forms of life that share structural and functional characteristics.
- Rank beneath kingdom, groups together organisms with similar ody plans on structure.
- Level below phylum, share even more specific characteristics.
- Beneath class, groups based on even more specific similarities in their characteristics and behaviors.
- Groups together with even more specific similarities, such as similar body structure and behaviors. Below Order.
- Several related species.
- Most specific level of organism, representing a group of individuals that can interbreed and produce offspring in natural conditions.
- A unique two-part name given to each species of organism.
- Who is the Pioneer of Molecular Phylogeny who is a groundbreaking rRNA research in the 1970s challenging the traditional 5-kingdom system?
- The kingdom who lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They thrive in extreme environments and inhabit hot springs.
- A single-celled organism that do not have nuclei. They use photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Essential for nutrient cycling and aid in decomposition.
- Contains a nucleus and have organelles. Includes algae and protozoa, slime molds are also included. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.
- They have chitin cell walls. They obtain nutrients from others and break down organic matter. They return nutrients to the ecosystem.
- Multicellular organism and autotrophic. They use chlorophyll for energy conversion. They have cell walls. Vascular plants have transport system and non-vascular does not.
- Multicellular and heterotrophic, they lack cell walls. Collagen provides them support. They have diverse body plans: Vertebrates & Invertebrates.
