Taxonomy: Life's Filing System - Crash Course Biology #19
Hank tells us the background story and explains the importance of the science of classifying living things, also known as taxonomy.
Extra Credit: Biology Junction Taxonomy PowerPoint (38) & Questions (82) (BioJunction Taxonomy Crossword)

Brightstorm Classification
Classification Overview (4:26)
In Biology, classification is the way to organize living things based on evolutionary relationships. Traditionally, we organize species into the standard hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family and genus.

Brightstorm Classification
- Phylogenetic Tree (2:40)
A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram that shows evolutionary relationships. These trees, often compared to family trees, are constructed using a variety of evidence generally using DNA. In phylogenetic trees, sometimes the lengths of the branches represent time since a group split from each other.
- Cladistics (2:10)
Cladistics is the method of classifying organisms into groups called clades. Clades consist of an ancestor organism and all of it's decedents and one branch is the tree of life. Cladograms are diagrams that show relationships within a clade.

Brightstorm Classification
- Plant Kingdom (5:52)
Like the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom is also a major part of the Linnaean system of classification that includes organisms like trees, bushes and grasses. The plants in this kingdom can be called autotrophs because they perform photosynthesis to provide food for themselves. These organisms also provide oxygen for humans and animals to survive.
- Animal Kingdom (3:44)
Unlike the organisms of the Archaea or MoneraKingdoms, the Animal Kingdom consists of multi-cellular, heterotrophic organisms that feed on other organisms to survive. Some of the characteristics of the animals in this kingdom are being able to develop throughout their lives, move independently and reproducing.
- Protist Kingdom (3:28)
The protist kingdom is a classification that includes a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms. Typically, protists reproduce asexually via mitosis and range from unicellular to multicellular organisms. In the protist kingdom, there are two main groups: protozoa (which are generally heterotrophic) and algae (which are generally autotrophic). Organisms in the protozoa group include things like amoebas, slime molds and paramecium while common organisms in the algae group include green algae, brown algae, diatoms and euglena.
- Fungi Kingdom (2:52)
The Fungi Kingdom consists of plant-like organisms with small nuclei such as yeast, bread mold and mushrooms. Many of the organisms in theFungiKingdom can cause disease, but some are helpful as they are used to make things like antibiotics and yeast. Most of the organisms in this kingdom are parasitic and receive nutrients from surfaces they live on.
- Bacteria Kingdom (2:56)
The Bacteria Kingdom, formerly called monera, are single celled prokaryotic organisms. Bacteria encompass two domains: eubacteria and archaea. Eubacteria and archaea have very different cell walls. They are also distinguished by their DNA - the DNA of archaea has histone proteins while that of eubacteria does not.

Crash Course
Old & Odd: Archaea, Bacteria & Protists - CrashCourse Biology #35
Hank veers away from human anatomy to teach us about the (mostly) single-celled organisms that make up two of the three taxonomic domains of life, and one of the four kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, and Protists. They are by far the most abundant org...
The Sex Lives of Nonvascular Plants: Alternation of Generations - Crash Course Biology #36
Hank introduces us to nonvascular plants - liverworts, hornworts & mosses - which have bizarre features, kooky habits, and strange sex lives. Nonvascular plants inherited their reproductive cycle from algae, but have perfected it to the point wher...
Vascular Plants = Winning! - Crash Course Biology #37
Hank introduces us to one of the most diverse and important families in the tree of life - the vascular plants. These plants have found tremendous success and the their secret is also their defining trait: conductive tissues that can take food and...
The Plants & The Bees: Plant Reproduction - CrashCourse Biology #38
Hank gets into the dirty details about vascular plant reproduction: they use the basic alternation of generations developed by nonvascular plants 470 million years ago, but they've tricked it out so that it works a whole lot differently compared t...
Fungi: Death Becomes Them - CrashCourse Biology #39
Death is what fungi are all about. By feasting on the deceased remains of almost all organisms on the planet, converting the organic matter back into soil from which new life will spring, they perform perhaps the most vital function in the global ...
Simple Animals: Sponges, Jellies, & Octopuses - Crash Course Biology #22
Hank introduces us to the "simplest" of the animals, complexity-wise: beginning with sponges (whose very inclusion in the list as "animals" has been called into question because they are so simple) and finishing with the most complex molluscs, oct...
Complex Animals: Annelids & Arthropods - CrashCourse Biology #23
Hank continues our exploration of animal phyla with the more complexly organized annelida and arthropoda, and a biolography on insects. Like CrashCourse on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/YouTubeCrashCourse Follow CrashCourse on Twitter: http:/...
Chordates - CrashCourse Biology #24
Hank introduces us to ourselves by taking us on a journey through the fascinatingly diverse phyla known as chordata. And the next time someone asks you who you are, you can give them the facts: you're a mammalian amniotic tetrapodal sarcopterygian...
Animal Behavior - CrashCourse Biology #25
