New information about structure and DNA of an organism is found
Classification assumes that species are distinct and unchanging
Use of common names to identify organisms can be confusing
Taxonomy organizes living things into similar groups to easier study
7

Homo sapiens
Homo Sapiens
Domain and kingdom
Human species
8
What is the difference between Kingdom Plantae and Kingdom Fungi?
Plants have no nucleus; Fungi has nucleus
Plants are nonphotosynthetic; Fungi is photosynthetic
Plants are autotrophic; Fungi heterotrophic
Plants are motile; Fungi nonmotile

Why is the best for scientists to use the name from standardized taxonomic system?
Standardized name is less descriptive of the animal that has been observed
All scientists will be using one name
Communication with other scientists will be reduced
The standardized name differentiates between common names
13
What is the organims on the picture?
Prokaryote, because it has plasma membrane, genetic material, and ribosomes
Prokaryote, because it has organelles similar to those in eukaryotes
Prokaryote, because does not have a distinct membrane-bound nucleus.
Eukaryote, because the organism is unicellular and has a nucleus.

Which organisms most likely belong to the taxonomic group for bacteria?
Organism 3 and 4
Organism 2 and 3

Organism 1 and 2
16
What is the advantages of having a universal naming system?
the common name is hard too translate
because the common name doesn't addresss its habitat or location
the same organism can be recognized everywhere and avoid translation issues
Latin is the language most frequently spoken in the world
