Introduction

→ All living organism are grouped on the basis of their similarities and increasing complexities into different complexities.



→ Biodiversity means the variety of living organisms present on a particular region.

→ There are about 20 lac organisms known on the earth which differ from one another in external form, internal structure, mode of nutrition, habitat, etc.

• Taxonomy: It is a branch of biology which deals with identification, nomenclature and classification of organisms. Carolus Lannaeus is called the father of taxonomy.

Classification

→ The method of arranging organisms into groups or sets on the basis of similarities and differences is called classification.

Importance of Classification

→ It makes the study of wide variety of organisms easy and in systematic manner.

→ It helps to understand how the different organisms have evolved with
time.

→ It helps to understand the inter-relationships among different groups of organisms.

→ It forms a base for the study of other biological sciences, like biogeography.

Basis of Classification

→ There are certain features or properties used for the classification of living organisms which are known as characteristics.

→ Organisms with same characteristics are placed in same groups.

Classification System

• Two kingdom classification: Carolus Linnaeus in 1758 classified the living organisms into two groups as plants and animals.

• Five kingdom classification: H. Whittaker in 1959 further classified the organisms into five kingdoms as Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae and Kingdom Animalia.

→ Carl Woese in 1977 further divided Kingdom Monera into archaebacteria (or Archae) and Eubacteria (or Bacteria).

• Hierarchy of Classification: Linnaeus proposed a classification system by arranging organisms into taxonomic groups at different levels according to the characteristics they have.

Groups or Levels from top to bottom

→ The major characteristics considered for classifying all organisms into five major kingdoms.

• Type of cellular organization

(i) Prokaryotic cells: These are primitive and incomplete cells without well-defined nucleus.

(ii) Eukaryotic cells: These are advanced and complete cells with well-defined nucleus.

• Body organization

(i) Unicellular organisms: These are organisms made up of single cell with all activities performed by the single cell.

(ii) Multicellular organisms: These are organisms made up of large number of cells with different functions performed by different cells.

• Mode of obtaining food

(i) Autotrophs: These are the organisms that make their own food by photosynthesis.

(ii) Heterotrophs: These are the organisms which depend on o
