Concepts of Classification Investigation 14 Organisms are classified or grouped on the basis of similarity of traits. The more traits that two organisms have in common the more closely related they are thought to be. Two closely related organisms often show many physical similarities. Developmental and biochemical traits may also be used to determine relationship among organisms. Thus, organisms can be classified.
Read Section 14.1 and 14.2 in your text before you begin Investigation 14. Goals In this investigation you will (a) outline the major traits of the five kingdoms by completing a key diagram. (b) relate scientific names of organisms to the common names of these organisms. Materials Part A key diagram Part B none Procedure In the blank to the left of each step, place a check after you have completed that step. Part A. Determining Major Traits of Kingdoms ___ 1. Obtain the key diagram from your teacher. The key diagram is an outline that will aid you in determining the major traits of each kingdom.
usually unicellular autotrophic prokaryotic multicellular heterotrophic ingest food
examples from those shown in the handout. Part B. Binomial Nomenclature ___ 1. Many scientific names are derived from Greek or Latin. These Greek or Latin terms may sound like or be synonyms for English words. For example, the scientific name for the rubber plant is Ficus elastica. Elastica sounds like 'elastic, which describes rubber. Analyze each of the scientific names in column I. Match each of the scientific names with the correct common name (column II) of that organism.
_____ Crotaphytus collaris a. seventeen-year locust _____ Eurycea bilineata b. paper birch _____ Alytes obstetricans c. rye _____ Ursus horibilis d. sugar cane _____ Magicicada septendecem e. collared lizard _____ Betula papyrifera f. grizzly bear _____ Secale cereale g. two-lined salamander _____ Saccharum officinarum h. midwife toad ___ 2. Many of the common names of organisms are derived from scientific names. For example, the scientific name of the elephant is Elephas maximum. Match each of the scientific names in column I with the correct common name (column II) of that organism. I II _____ Beta vulgaris a. black pepper _____ Salmo gairdneni b. rat _____ Citrus limon c. canary _____ Piper nigrum d. herring _____ Tarpor atlanticus e. beet _____ Crocodylus americanus f. carrot _____ Rattus norvegicus g. crocodile _____ Daucus carota h. lemon _____ Serinus canarius i. salmon _____ Clupea harengus j. Atlantic tarpon Conclusions Refer to the investigation results and your text for aid in answering each of the following questions. 1. a. Define binomial nomenclature. b. What category of classification is used for the first term in a scientific name? c. What category of classification is used for the second term in a scientific name? 2. Name two rules used in writing scientific names. a. b.
