The species
concept
- Biological species: A group of
organisms with similar morphology
and physiology, which can breed
together to produce fertile offspring
- Morphological species: A group of
organisms that share many physical
features that distinguish them from
other species
- Ecological species: population of
individuals of the same species living
in the same area at the same time
Hierachical classification
- Taxonomy is the study and
practice of naming and
classifying species within the - The domain is the highest
hierarchical classification taxonomic rank in the hierarchical
scheme classification system
- Each kind of organism is
assigned to its own species
and similar species are
grouped into a genus, similar
genera into a class, classes
into a phylum, phyla into a
kingdom
Three domains
Bacteria Archaea Eukarya
- Bacteria are - They are also - All have cells with
prokaryotic as prokaryotic and nuclei and
their cells have no the range of their membrane-bound
nucleus size is similar to organelles
- They are small that of bacteria
and vary in size - Many inhabit
extreme
environments
- The metabolism of
archaeans is
similar to that of
bacteria but the
way in which
transcription
occurs is common
kingdoms
Protoctist
a Fungi
Eukaryotic Eukaryotic enzymes
organisms that are which do not
single clessed or photosynthesise
made up of groups and have cell walls
of similar cells without cellulose

Eukaryotic enzymes Eukaryotic enzymes
which are which are
multicellular, have multicellular and
cell walls that heterotrophic and
contain cellulose have a nervous
