HIERARCHY OF

CLASSIFICATION

Linnaeus gave every species of living organism two names, written in Latin.
This two-word name is called a binomial.
Each name has two components – the Generic name and the specific epithet
Binomial system is an internationally agreed system in which the scientific name of an organism
Genus
Panthera leo
Species
Species are group of similar organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile off
spring.
Species are grouped into larger groups called genera (singular: genus).
Each genus contains several species with similar characteristics.

A General Overview
Prokaryotes = Pro (before) + Karyon (nucleus)
 Prokaryotes are simple unicellular organisms that lack nucleus & membrane bound structures.
 The prokaryotic cell division takes place by binary fission.
 Prokaryotes are distinguished from eukaryotes on the basis of cell structure & molecular makeup.
 Prokaryotes are very small most being approximately 0.5 to 1.0 μm in diameter.
 Due to the small size the surface area/volume ration is extensively high for the prokaryotes.

PROTISTA
Characteristics:
 Unicellular or Multicellular
 Cells have a nucleus.
 Cells may or may not have a cell wall and
chloroplast.
 Autotrophic or Heterotrophic.
 Uninucleate, binucleate or multinucleate.
 Asexual reproduction by binary fission,
multiple fission, and sexual reproduction by
conjugation.
19
FUNGI
Characteristics:
 They may be unicellular (yeast).
 They may be multicellular & filamentous (Mycelium).
 Cells have a nucleus.
 Cells have a cell wall (chitin).
 Don not have chlorophyll.
 Saprophytic or parasitic.
 Some fungi are decomposers.
 Fungi carry thread like structures called Hyphae.
 Fungi can live in symbiosis (Lichens).

ASSIGNMENT
1. Give different examples of Kingdom Protista & Fungi
(5 examples each).
2. Describe about symbiosis existence of FUNGI.
3. Write a note on Amoeba.
2
PLANTAE
Characteristics:
1. Plantae includes multicellular organisms except for some primitive relatives of algae.
2. They are eukaryotes, that is, their each cell has a nucleus and membrane bound cellular
organelles.
3. Cellulose – containing cell wall occurs around the cell.
4. A mature plant commonly possesses a single large central vacuole bound by tonoplast
(membrane).
5. Reserve food of plants is starch and lipids (oil/fat).
6. In all plant cells occur double membrane covered cell organelles, called plastids. Some
plastids possess photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls). They are called chloroplasts.
7. Nutrition of plants is autotrophic type with the help of chlorophyll present in
chloroplasts, plants are able to perform photosynthesis.
8. Growth in plants is generally indefinite due to presence of growing points.
9. Body form of the plants is irregular due to presence of branches.

It is in the form of undivided thallus.

4.
Simple seed bearing plants
The seeds produces by these plants are naked & are not
enclosed inside fruits
Usually evergreen woody plants.
Examples: Pinus (pines), Cedrus (Deodar)
30
5. ANGIOSPERM
1.
These are highly evolved plants and they
produce seeds that are enclosed within the
fruit.
2.
Plant seeds (embryo) are covered by structure
called cotyledons (seed leaves).
3.
On the basis of number of cotyledons the
angiosperms are divided into two groups:
 Monocotyledons
(Monocots);
Examples:
Maize, Wheat, rice, sugarcane, coconut.
 Dicotyledons (Diocots); Examples: Pea, Apple

ANIMALIA
Characteristics:
1.
Animals have wall-less eukaryotic cells.
2.
Animals have organisation of cellular, tissue, organs and organ system level.
3.
Animal’s heterotrophic nutrition is of holozoic (ingestive) type. An internal alimentary canal is
present for extra-cellular or intracellular digestion and absorption of food in most animals.
Digestion is intracellular in primitive animals. The undigested matter is thrown out.
4.
Growth of animals is limited and stops after reaching maturity.
5.
Animals generally possess a definite shape, size and symmetry. Exceptions occur in some lower
forms.
6.
Most animals are mobile (locomotary). Locomotion is required for obtaining food and other
necessities (e.g., dwelling, mate). Sponges and cnidarians (e.g., Hydra, Obelia, corals), however, are
mobile (e.g., tentacles in Hydra and flagella of choanocytes in sponges).
7.
Movements occur in animals with the help of a muscular system. Information is conveyed to
different parts of the body by nervous system which also provides stimulus to muscles for
contraction.
