en CR Classification 30 Kingdom : The broadest taxon in the taxonomic hierarchy. eg. Animals, Protista, Monera, Plants, Fungi Latin : The language used by taxonomists to name organisms Classification : The arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities Taxonomy : Classification is also known as _____ Taxonomists : Scientists that identify and name organisms Movement : Essential life process starting with M Reproduction : Essential life process of producing offspring Excretion : Essential life process of getting rid of waste Species : The most specific taxon in the taxonomic hierarchy Photosynthesis : The process plants and some other organisms use to make their own food Consumer : An organism that gains nutrients from eating other organisms Monera : Organisms that belong to this kingdom are the simplest of all organisms. Examples are bacteria and blue-green algae Protista : Amoeba and paramecium belong to this kingdom Fungi : Mushrooms, mould and yeast belong to this kingdom Dichotomous : _________ keys are used to classify organisms based on their characteristics Animals : Sponges, starfish and tigers belong to this kingdom Vertebrates : Animals that have a backbone Invertebrates : Animals that do not have a backbone Mammals : Class of vertebrates that have hair, mammary glands and are warm blooded Fish : Class of vertebrates that live in water, breathe through gills, are cold blooded and mostly lay eggs Reptiles : Class of vertebrates that are egg-laying, breathe with lungs and are cold blooded Amphibians : Class of vertebrates that lay their eggs in water, have a moist skin, the larvae have gills and live in water and the adults have lungs and live on land Birds : Class of vertebrates that lay eggs with hard shells and are warm-blooded Echinoderms : Sea-urchins and starfish are an example of this class of invertebrates Cnidarians : This class of marine invertebrates is characterised by having stinging tentacles Arthropods : This class of invertebrates is characterised by the presence of a hard exoskeleton Exoskeleton : Hard, outer skeleton Annelids : Earthworms belong to this class of invertebrates Insects : Family of arthropods that have six legs Crustaceans : Family of arthropods that have at least ten legs Arachnids : Family of arthropods that have eight legs Molluscs : Snails and squid are examples of this class of invertebrates
