14. ________ - level of organization that divides the domains into six levels
15. ________ - kingdom of plants
16. ________ - a series of paired statements that help to identify an organism
17. ________ - the language used in naming organisms

free response:

1. list the levels of classification in order from broadest to most specific. then for each level, think of a mnemonic device to help you remember them in order. a mnemonic device is a sentence that helps us memorize a string of words in order. i.e. my very educated mother just served us noodles for the planets in order from closest to farthest from the sun.

levels of classification mnemonic device
a. ______ ______
b. ______ ______
c. ______ ______
d. ______ ______
e. ______ ______
f. ______ ______
g. ______ ______
h. ______ ______

Matching Vocabulary (1 - 17)

1. Taxonomy: branch of biology that is used to group things by their characteristics.
2. Carolus Linnaeus: the first scientist to come up with our main classification system and binomial nomenclature.
3. Dichotomous key: a series of paired statements that help to identify an organism.
4. Eubacteria: the old group of bacteria that is now divided into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria (wait, correction: Archaebacteria is the ancient one; Eubacteria is everyday bacteria. Wait, original 4: "Archaebacteria" – no, let's re - align:

• 4. Eubacteria: Domain of cells without a nucleus that are everyday bacteria (wait, no, Archaebacteria is ancient. Let's do properly:

1. Taxonomy (matches "branch of biology...group things by characteristics")
2. Carolus Linnaeus (first to make main classification + binomial)
3. Dichotomous key (to identify organism)
4. Eubacteria (old group, now split? Wait, original 4: "Archaebacteria" – no, the definition for Archaebacteria is "Domain of cells without a nucleus that are ancient bacteria". So:
5. Archaebacteria: Domain of cells without a nucleus that are ancient bacteria
6. Eubacteria: Domain of cells without a nucleus that are everyday bacteria
7. Domain: broadest level of organization that groups organism according to Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
8. Animalia: Kingdom of animals
9. Eukarya: Domain of cells with a nucleus
10. Archaebacteria (wait, no, "Kingdom of extremist bacteria" – Archaebacteria are extremophiles. So 9. Archaebacteria: Kingdom of extremist bacteria (note: Archaebacteria is a domain, but in some old classifications, it was a kingdom. Maybe the worksheet uses old terms)
11. Protista: single - celled organisms that are either plant - like, animal - like, or fungus - like
12. Eubacteria: the kingdom of bacteria that we encounter everyday (again, old classification)
13. Fungi: Kingdom of yeast, mold and mushrooms
14. Kingdom: Level of organization that divides the domains into six levels (wait, no, the levels from domain down: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. But the worksheet says "divides the domains into six levels" – maybe kingdom is the next after domain. Wait, the definition: "Level of organization that divides the domains into six levels" – maybe "Kingdom" is not, maybe "Taxonomic rank" but no. Wait, the vocabulary term for "Level of organization that divides the domains into six levels" – maybe "Kingdom" is incorrect. Let's check the 13th: "Level of organization that divides the domains into six levels" – the answer is Kingdom? No, the levels are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. So domain is broadest, then kingdom, etc. So "Kingdom" is a level that comes after domain. So 13. Kingdom
15. Plantae: kingdom of plants
16. Dichotomous key: a series of paired statements that help to identify an organism (wait, 3 was dichotomous key? No, 3's definition is "to identify an organism" – no, 3's vocabulary term is "Dichotomous key". Wait, I think I messed up. Let's start over with correct biological classification terms:

• 1. Taxonomy: branch of biology for grouping by characteristics.
• 2. Carolus Linnaeus: first for main classification + binomial nomenclature.
• 3. Dichotomous key: to identify an organism (series of paired statements).
• 4. Eubacteria: old group (now split? No, Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are domains. But worksheet says "the old group of bacteria that is now divided into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria" – so the old group was "Bacteria", now split into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. So 4. Bacteria (old group, now split into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria)
• 5. Archaebacteria: Domain of cells without nucleus, ancient bacteria.
• 6. Eubacteria: Domain of cells without nucleus, everyday bacteria.
• 7. Domain: broadest level, groups into Eukaryotes/Prokaryotes.
• 8. Animalia: Kingdom of animals.
• 9. Eukarya: Domain of cells with nucleus.
• 10. Archaebacteria: Kingdom of extremist bacteria (old classification).
• 11. Protista: single - celled, plant/animal/fungus - like.
• 12. Eubacteria: everyday bacteria kingdom (old).
• 13. Fungi: yeast, mold, mushrooms kingdom.
• 14. Kingdom: level after domain, divides into six? No, the levels from domain: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. So "Kingdom" is the second level. So 14. Kingdom (level that divides domains into six kingdoms? Maybe).
• 15. Plantae: kingdom of plants.
• 16. Dichotomous key: paired statements to identify (wait, 3 was that. Maybe 16 is "Binomial nomenclature"? No, 17 is "the language used in naming organisms" – which is Latin (binomial nomenclature uses Latin). So 17. Latin (or "Binomial nomenclature" – but binomial nomenclature is the system, the language is Latin).
