Living Things
1. Made of cells
2. Carry out basic life activities
3. Grouped into Kingdoms

A
property is a quality that describes an
object
 Properties can describe how an object looks
or feels
 Properties can also describe how an object
acts


We observe properties (sight, touch, smell, taste)

A property of a rock is its hardness
A property of a person is their eye color

2.2
 Living
things are more like one another than
they are like non-living things

Example: They all carry out basic life activities
 However,
living things are also very different
from one another

Example: A cat is different from a dog
 All
living things are divided into a
classification system:
 Kingdom (King)
 Phylum
(Philip)
 Class
(Claimed)
 Order
(Only)
 Family
(Five)
 Genus
(Gold)
 Species
(Shoes)
 Taxonomy
means classification
 All living things stem from a common
ancestor
 Carl Linnaeus developed an organization
system in 1758
 His system only had two kingdoms: Plant and
Animal
 This system stayed unchanged until the
1960’s
 In
1969, Thomas Whittaker proposed a 5
kingdom system
 He added Fungus, Protist and Monera to the
existing kingdoms Plant and Animal
 Whittaker defined the kingdoms on the basis
of if they possessed a true nucleus
(eukaryotic)
 Monera do not possess a true nucleus
(prokaryotic)
 The other 4 kingdoms are eukaryotic
 New
evidence supports that the 5 kingdom
system is not correct
 As more and more unicellular organisms are
being discovered, these organisms also
appear to be prokaryotic (no true nucleus)
 These organisms did not fit into the Monera
kingdom at all
 In the 1980’s, Carl Woese proposed a radical
reorganization of the 5 kingdoms into 3
domains
 Carl
Woese’s design has been increasingly
accepted by biologists over the years
 It is now the standard theory
 In his system, Woese placed all 4 eukaryotic
kingdoms into one, single domain called
Eukarya
 Then, he split the Monera Kingdom into 2
Domains: Eubacteria (bacteria) and Archaea
(archaebacteria)
 He also placed most of the “unusual”
prokaryotes (no true nucleus) in Archaea
 The
plant and animal kingdoms were
demoted as individual kingdoms
 They are now within a domain
 This is consistent with recent discoveries of
more diversity among microbes
 Woese’s
3 Domain system organizes
biodiversity by evolutionary relationships
rather than properties
