UNIT 9 TAXONOMY & CLASSIFICATION OVERVIEWTest DATE 2/24

Biology TEKS(B.8) Science concepts. The student knows that taxonomy is a branching classification based on the shared characteristics of organisms and can change as new discoveries are made. The student is expected to (A) define taxonomy and recognize the importance of a standardized taxonomic system to the scientific community; Supporting Standard (B) categorize organisms using a hierarchical classification system based on similarities and differences shared among groups; and Readiness Standard (C) compare characteristics of taxonomic groups, including archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.

What I Need to Know/Be able to do:

  1. Identify unique characteristics of living things
  2. Compare and Contrast Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
  3. Identify how living things are organized for study and the scientist contributed to this classification system.
  4. Identify and use binomial nomenclature. Know what 2 taxons are used to name an organism.
  5. Identify and use Linnaeus’s hierarchical system of classification. Put the seven levels in the correct order.
  6. Compare and contrast Linnaeus’s system with modern evolutionary classification. Identify how DNA and RNA help scientists to determine evolutionary relationships.
  7. Classify organisms using a cladogram.
  8. Be able to use a Dichotomous Key and read a phylogenetic tree.
  9. Identify common characteristics and structures unique in each of the six kingdoms. Identify the 3 domain system of classification.
  10. Compare and Contrast the reactants and products of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.Know the role of ATP
  11. Compare and contrast the internal structures of plants and animals, understand the evolution of these structures and their importance for each species and phyla.
  12. Identify the characteristics and differences of bacteria and viruses.
  13. Compare shapes and structures of bacteria and viruses
  14. Identify how living things are organized for study.
