Dr. Nedwidek Stuyvesant HS SLS43QM taxonomy lesson: September 23, 2013
Aim 1: How did life emerge and how do we organize it?
HW 4 on classification is due today. Your first exam of the semester
is 9/24/13, tomorrow.
Classification and the Kingdom system came out of the work of Linnaeus
and Darwin. Linnaeus came up with the naming system. Darwin developed
the first real phylogenetic trees based on his observations of
interactions in the natural world, and he presented the idea that
competition drives speciation.
Origins of Life: How to generate life in a test tube!
-A spark (energy) and “household” chemicals (ammonia, water, carbon
dioxide) yields early catalytic molecules (which chemically speed up
reactions).
Progression of complexity:
Virus-likebacteria-likeEukaryotic cell-like.
Seminal Experiment: Miller and Urey re-create the first bio-molecules
in the lab.
There was no oxygen (O2) on early earth. Ammonia (NH3), water (H2O),
Carbon dioxide (CO2) were the raw materials.
Stages of complexity emerged as follows: Viruses first, Bacteria (Eu-
then Archae-) (Hetero then auto), Eukarya (Hetero then auto).
As bacterial autotrophs emerge, psynth occurs. This creates O2, or an
aerobic environment. O2 can be detrimental. An O2 rich environment
favors cell respiration.
Ultimately, organized forms begin to develop.
Early earth is billions of years old. Environment s O2 free. O2 is a
diatomic molecule, O is the elemental atom. Oxygen is very reactive.
The production of O2 by photosynthesis leads to favor organisms that
perform cell respiration, as O2 rich reactive environments are poison
(due to the reactivity). Cell Resp (CR) breaks down O2 (and gives a
high energy yield from food). See aud 351 and 349.
Copy the phylogenetic tree for the emergence of kingdoms below (see
handout given today):
Taxonomy: integrates shape (morphology), fingerprint (DNA and
protein), bones (fossils), homes (geographic distribution).
Classification is the convergence of Linnaeus (1700’s), Darwin (1850)
and modern molecular genetics (1975now). Taxonomy is the formal
naming system for all living things. It was developed for broad use by
Karolus Linnaeus.
The primary basis for classification was previously morphology. Now we
use molecules way more.
Why do we need a standard for classification? Genus species or Genus
species
How do you say cat in a language other than English?
No matter where, who, or what is being communicated, we need standards
in science so everyone understands one another. The idea of a
universal scientific language promotes more effective scientific
discourse (conversation).
Aim 2: How do we use kingdoms and domains to classify life?
DN: We came up with many different ways to say cat. But Linnaean
taxonomy gives a housecat only one name, Felis domesticus. A distant
relative of the housecat is Panthera leo, the African lion. Are these
organisms capable of interbreeding? Why or why not?
Test tomorrow. Measurement lab this week. Acid-base lab next week.
Details TBA.
Felis domesticus—Underline, or
Genus species
Felis domesticus—Italic
Genus species
This nomenclature is part of the filing system for uniform naming of
organisms.
-Linnaeus established the modern classification system of species:
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. (K, P, C, O, F,
G, S).
-Darwin was one of the first to use phylogenetic trees (branch
diagrams, “tree of life”) to describe species origins. His work
connected adaptation and speciation. He used shape.
-Molecular genetics allows us to confirm morphological or shape
evidence by examining DNA and/or proteins. Morphology and genes should
agree, but do not always. An example is dipterans (flies, some bugs)
versus birds: both have wings but for different reasons. Birds connect
better to mammals better: wings are equivalent to arms. Different
cause/same outcome: convergent evolution.
Living things fall into three domains.
Prokaryotes (before nucleus): Kingdoms = (1) Eubacteria, (2)
Archaebacteria
Refinement to domains came due to different cell types. 2 domains:
Bacteria, Archaea.
Eukaryotes (true nucleus): Kingdoms = (3) Protista
(Protists/Protozoa), (4) Plantae (Plants), (5) Fungi (Fungus), (6)
Animalia (Animals)
Refinement due to unified cell type. 1 domain: Eukarya.
-Cladograms that relate these organisms are based on molecular and
morphological evidence; -Cladograms relating microorganisms are based
almost exclusively on molecular evidence, which is more conclusive and
convincing scientifically.
Long ago, we would cover much more of this but here are
characteristics of the 6 kingdoms in a nutshell; you must be familiar
with key characteristics for tomorrow’s exam:
Prokaryotes: First Life Forms
K1) Eubacteria: anaerobic and aerobic respiration, “typical” bacteria:
Domain 1, bacteria. Ex: botulism (the source of botox): Clostridium
botulinum
K2) Archaebacteria: larger and more complex. Emerged from/preceded by
eubacteria. Many are chemosynthetic; some overlap with harsh
environments: Domain 2, Archaea. Ex: halophiles, acidophiles
Eukaryotes: Organized cells with organelles: all Domain 3, Eukarya
K3) Protista: can be both animal- and plant-like, multiple (3)
lineages: autotrophs (manufacture nutrients) or heterotrophs (depend
on other species for nutrients). Fantastic diversity; observed by
Leeuwenhoek using the first compound microscope. Ex: paramecia, amoeba
K4) Plantae: photosynthetic autotrophs; dwell on both land and water;
emerged from algae. Ex: trees, ferns, flowering plants
K5) Fungi: saprotrophs; absorb environmental nutrients. Ex: yeast and
mushrooms (as in the story of Babar)
K6) Animalia: all heterotrophs; have high energy requirements,
symmetric bodies; include both vertebrates and invertebrates. Ex:
humans, bugs
Examples of each Genus species: Common name:
K1) Escherischia coli colon bacterium
K2) Methanococcus jannaschi methane producers
K3) Paramecium caudatum common Paramecium
K4) Arabidopsis thaliana common weed
K5) Saccharomyces cerevisiae bakers yeast
K6) Homo sapiens us!! (humans)
We will continue with taxonomy as it relates to cell biology after
tomorrow’s test, but you are responsible for everything up to this
point for tomorrow’s exam. GOOD LUCK!! 
