CLASSIFICATION=TAXONOMY



CLASSIFICATION=TAXONOMY

First System of classification-

• Aristotle

• All living organisms were broken down into two groups- plants and animals

• Bad system because it was not specific enough (too many living organisms)

Present system of classification-

• Linnaeus- a Swedish physician

• Broke down living organisms into Kingdoms

• There are 5 Kingdoms-

Animal- A

Plant-P

Monera-M

Fungi- F

Protista-P
