    Tobechukwu Idoko completed a biological classification worksheet that categorized organisms into the five kingdom system: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Monera. It also detailed the classification of humans as Homo sapiens within the taxonomic hierarchy. The worksheet assessed understanding of classification groups such as genus, species, and binomial nomenclature. A tale of two elephants section compared Asian and African elephants, noting similarities in features but differences between the species.

    Biological Classification Worksheet


    Five-Kingdom System
    Animal Kingdom – Invertebrates (without backbones) and vertebrates (with

    backbones), multicellular, no cell walls, obtain energy through respiration

    Plant Kingdom – multicellular, have cell walls, obtain energy through photosynthesis.

    Ex. mosses, ferns, flowering and seed plants

    Fungi Kingdom – cells with cell walls but not green and do not carry out

    photosynthesis, break down other organic materials to obtain food. Ex. mushrooms,

    molds, and yeasts

    Protist Kingdom – come in a wide variety of forms, some are animal-like, such as

    amoeba, paramecium and protozoan. Some are plant-like such as algae and others are

    fungi-like. Many are single-celled and others are multicellular.

    Monera Kingdom – some photosynthesize while others respire. The nucleus of Moneran

    cells are not bounded by nuclear membranes like cells in the other kingdoms. Ex.

    bacteria and blue-green algae.


    The classification of humans – Homo sapiens
    The two part naming system is called Binomial nomenclature (consists of genus and

    species.).

    Kingdom: Animalia

    Phylum: Chordata

    Class: Mammalia

    Order: Primata

    Family: Hominadae

    Genus: Homo

    Species: sapiens (note: species is not capitalized.

    Using the information above, answer the following questions.

    1. What is the next smallest classification group after Order? Family

    2. What is the smallest classification group? Species

    3. Every living organism has what classification groups as its name? Genus and species

    4. The first letter of every genus name is capitalized.

    5. The first letter of every species name is in Lowercase.

    6. What is binomial nomenclature? Binomial nomenclature is a system for naming

    species that is comprised of two parts, the genus name and the specific name .

    7. Give one example of how you classification is used at school. Classification is used at

    school to separate different subjects, subject materials and different year level

    classes.
    8. Why is the understanding of classification an important life skill? It helps us understand the
    relationship between groups of organisms. It helps to make identification easier and quicker.
    PART 2
    A Tale of Two Elephants

    1. What organisms are shown?


    Answer: An elephant (Asian elephant is Elephas maximus and the African elephant is
    Loxodonta Africana)

    2. Do they look the same?


    Answer: Yes they do

    3. Do the pictures show the same species?


    Answer: No

    4. How are they elephants similar?


    Answer: They both have tusks.
    They both have tails.
    They both have large ears.

    5. How are they different?

    Answer: Asian elephant’s ears are smaller than African elephants.
