been classified,
o Archaea
o Bacteria
o Eukarya
Archaea Bacteria Eukarya
Kingdom- is the second highest taxonomic rank,
which classified the microorganism
and organism.
• Monera
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia
Monera Protista Fungi
Plantae Animalia
Phylum consist of different classes, which classified by bodies structdure;
Example:
o Acanthocephala
o Brachiopoda
o Chordata
Acanthocephala Brachiopoda Chordata
Class- have several characteristics, that can

each one
o Canis
o Felis

Canis Felis Chanos
Species- are as specific as you can get. It is the lowest and most strict level of
classification of living things
o Catus
o Familiaris
o Chanos
o Lupus
Catus Familiaris Chanos
Lupus
Before, organism were only grouped into eukaryotes
and prokaryotes. And now scientist came up with
three-domain system
eukaryotes prokaryotes
What is the purpose of these categories?
o We use these categories for the scientific naming of organism
o Other people from different places would use the same name for the
same organism.
On the past years how can we group the living things?
On the past years how can we group the living things?

Example:
o Felis + Catus = Felis Catus
o Canis + Familiaries= Canis Familiaries
o Canis + Lupus= Canis Lupus
Can a dog and a wolf produce
fertile offspring?
Why?
“This system of classification may change as more
information are gathered about organism found
all over the earth.”
Scientists have identified more than
1.4 million species. Tens of millions –
remain unknown
