taxonomic category. The different levels to the taxonomic nomenclature naming system are called: Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ and Species. The first scientist to use the system was Carolus Linnaeus. His system had seven levels that were used for classification. They range from smallest to largest: Species‚ Genus‚ Family‚ Order‚ Class‚ Phylum‚ and Kingdom. Later on scientists added on more levels. This system brought order to the process of naming species and

Arthropods are part of the largest and most diverse phylum in the animal kingdom. The phylum which I am speaking of is called Arthropoda‚ which is Latin for "jointed feet." Arthropods are arranged of more than one million invertebrate species within four subphyla. The four subphyla consist of five classes of Uniramia including insects‚ three classes of Chelicerata including horseshoe crabs and arachnids‚ Trilobita (which are extinct)‚ and Crustacea. When you break down an arthropod you will find

Exam Review – January 2013 Diversity Unit - List taxonomic ranks in order. What is the significance of this order? Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ Species. Classification of species: kingdoms contain many different types of organisms‚ each taxon contains progressively fewer types of organisms‚ taxon “species” is narrowest category‚ containing only one type of organism. As you go from kingdom to species‚ organisms share more and more in common. - Explain and give an example

Sarcodina‚ the largest phylum (11‚500 living species and 33‚000 fossil species) of protozoans). It comprises the amebas and related organisms; which are all solitary cells that move and capture food by means of pseudopods‚ flowing temporary extensions of the cell. Most sarcodines are free living; others are parasitic. One of these parasites is the causative organism of amebic dysentery. With the exception of chloroplasts‚ sarcodines are identical to the ameboid members of the phylum Chrysophyta. Sarcodines

as in fact‚ they are not one at all! Their name may suggest a relation‚ which is partially true as they are very distant relatives‚ but comb jellies are completely harmless to humans‚ and both belong to an entirely different phyla‚ jellyfish being Cnidaria and comb jellies being Ctenophora. While both species are exceedingly ancient‚ having roamed the seas for over 500 million years‚ the pair also possess relatively different histories. It’s said that roughly 100-150 species of comb jellies have been
