SP2 Classification system

The document outlines the classification of living organisms into kingdoms based on cell type, structure, nutrition, and organization, distinguishing animals from plants. It details the division of animals into vertebrates and invertebrates, with specific characteristics of each group, including arthropods and their subcategories. Additionally, it includes practice and assessment questions for students to reinforce their understanding of these classifications.

A.

Single Simple Explanatory Bullet-Point Text (Core)

• Living organisms are placed into kingdoms based on their cell type, cell structure,
mode of nutrition, and level of organisation.

• Animals are classified separately from plants because animals are multicellular,
have no cell walls, and feed by ingestion, while plants have cellulose cell walls
and make food by photosynthesis.

• Animals are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates based on the presence or
absence of a backbone.

• The five main groups of vertebrates are mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians,
and fish, each identified by features such as body covering, reproduction, and
temperature control.

• Arthropods are a major group of invertebrates with a hard exoskeleton, jointed


limbs, and a segmented body.

• Arthropods are divided into insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods


using features such as number of legs, body segments, antennae, and eyes.

• Insects have three pairs of legs, a body divided into head, thorax, and abdomen,
one pair of antennae, and usually two pairs of wings.

• Arachnids have four pairs of legs, a body divided into cephalothorax and
abdomen, no antennae, and simple eyes.

• Crustaceans have five or more pairs of limbs, a body divided into cephalothorax
and abdomen, and two pairs of antennae.

• Myriapods have many body segments, 10 or more pairs of legs, one pair of
antennae, and bodies not clearly divided into thorax and abdomen.

• Organisms can be classified correctly by comparing their features with the


characteristics of known groups.
