Summary Introduction

Taxonomy involves the identification of different organisms, classification of the identified organisms into categories, and naming them. The organisms are classified into different groups along with other similar organisms. Eight different taxonomic categories are there, namely domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

Explanation of Solution

An order is a taxonomic rank that is used for classifying organisms. Order is more specific when compared to class, a taxonomic rank above the order. The plants given in the figure are wild carrot, marijuana, prickly rose, apple, and dog rose. Among the given flowers, marijuana, apple, dog rose, and prickly rose belongs to the same order Rosales.

Remembering the order of the taxonomic system from Domain to species is something you will need to know. One method to memorize a list is to use a Mnenomic device. The two best devices for taxonomy are either an Acronym or an Acrostic. Please see this link OR ask instructor if you need help on this! Examples of Mnemonic devices   What is your Mnemonic device for the following list (in this order)? Domain  Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Directions: For the following organisms below, you are to sort them into at least 4 different groupings. There must be at least 2 organisms in a grouping. You may place them into columns (in a chart of some sort) or simply Number or your groups and list the organism that are included. ALSO, you must include a written description (at least 2 sentences) describing the characteristics of EACH GROUP that apply to all organisms within that group.   Hint** A quick google search, or image search may provide you the visual data you need to categorize the organisms.   Sponges (Porifera) Cnidarians (Cnidaria) Comb jellies (Ctenophora) Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) Ribbon worms (Nemertea) Nematodes (Nematoda) Arrow worms (Chaetognatha) Segmented worms (Annelida) Sipunculans (Sipuncula) Molluscs (Mollusca) Arthropods (Arthropoda) Bryozoans (Bryozoa) Phoronids (Phoronida) Lamp shells (Brachiopoda) Echinoderms (Echinodermata) Hemichordates (Hemichordata) Chordates (Chordata)
Complete the taxonomic hierarchy of the following organisms: 1. Gumamela 2. Jelly fish 3. Oregano 4. Hummingbird 5. Sampaguita
