SECTION 2 (Life Science, Holt)
Explain each concept
□ At first, living things were classified as either plants or
animals. Then they added Monera.
□ Most biologists recognize six kingdoms.
□ Bacteria are prokaryotes. All other organisms are
eukaryotes.
□ Archaebacteria originated on Earth 3 billion years ago and
can live in extreme environments.
□ Eubacteria are most common and live almost everywhere. They
can be harmful or beneficial.
□ Plants, most fungi, and animals are complex multicellular
organisms.
□ Fungi break down material outside their body and then
absorb the nutrients.
□ Animals eat food, which is digested inside their body.

Explain each concept
□ In the 1700s, Linnaeus invented taxonomy to describe, name,
and classify organisms.
□ Modern classification schemes include evolutionary
relationships not just similar structures.
□ Classification now also puts organisms into orderly groups
based on their genetic similarities.
□ Biologists classify organisms to organize the diversity of
living things with scientific names.
□ A scientific name is always the same for an organism, no
matter what its common name is.
□ Today organisms are classified using a seven-level system
of organization.
□ The genus and species of an organism compose its two-part
scientific name.
□ Dichotomous keys help to identify organisms.
