- ACA Unit 9: Taxonomy Notes 1. Introduction to Classification Why Classify? To study the diversity of life, biologists use a classification system to name organisms and group them in a logical manner. This discipline of called and organisms is Modern Classification: More recently, 3 large groups of organisms were developed, called a DOMAIN ARCHAEA There are 3 domains: 1. DOMAIN EUKARYA (Kingdom Eubacteria) (Kingdom Archaebacteria) (Protists, fungi, plants, 2. 3. animals) DOMAIN BACTERIA Linnaeus' Classification System: The first major step in naming organisms wastaken by Linnaeus used a hierarchical system of classification with seven levels. They are from largest to smallest: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. King Phillip Came Over From Greece Singing. Each of these levels is called a - largest category, group of related phyla. - group o of different classes that share important characteristics. - group of similar orders. -group of similar families. - genera (genus…arrow_forwardGive differences and similarities of the cell parts of archaea and bacteria.
