DIVERSITY
OF
LIFE
What
Is
Life?
There
are
many
characteristics
that
scientists
use
to
determine
if
something
is
alive.
The
characteristics
are
very
specific
and
are
applicable
to
all
of
the
different
species
that
exist
on
our
planet.
We
are
surrounded
by
life
almost
everywhere
a
human
can
go
on
our
planet.
Appreciating
life
is
important
and
studying
different
species
is
vital
to
understanding
our
environment.
Characteristics
of
Living
Organisms
There
are
certain
characteristics
of
all
living
organisms
on
our
planet.
They:
•
Reproduce
•
Use
energy
•
Grow
and
develop
•
Respond
to
their
environment
•
Have
similar
chemicals,
and
•
Have
cellular
organization.
Water
and
rocks,
for
example,
are
considered
to
be
nonliving,
but
have
living
organisms
within
them.
Cells
are
the
basic
building
blocks
of
all
living
organisms.

Needs
of
Living
Things
Living
organisms
must
continually
meet
four
basic
needs
to
stay
alive.
They
must
have
a
living
space,
water,
energy,
and
stable
internal
conditions.
Plants
are
autotrophic
feeders
and
animals
are
heterotrophic
feeders.
Why
Classify?
The
classification
system
is
critical
to
life
science
because
of
its
usefulness
in
determining
where
a
particular
species
belongs
in
accordance
to
all
of
the
other
species
that
exist.
Without
the
classification
system
that
is
in
place
there
would
be
mass
confusion
in
the
scientific
community.
Classifying
organisms
allows
there
to
be
structure
and
organization
to
science
and
the
information
that
scientists
discover.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
Why
do
scientists
classify
living
organisms?
What
is
Binomial
Nomenclature?
Binomial
nomenclature
is
a
two-part
naming
system,
with
the
first
part
being
the
Genus
and
the
second
part
being
the
Species.
The
system
clarifies
an
organism’s
scientific
name
and
its
relationship
to
other
species.
A
taxonomic
key
is
a
method
used
to
classify
organisms
by
dividing
them
into
different
categories
at
each
step
in
a
series
of
steps.

Levels
of
Classification
There
are
different
levels
of
classification
that
narrow
in
on
a
particular
species.
The
relationship
between
organisms
gets
closer
and
closer
the
lower
the
level
of
classification.
There
are
eight
levels
used
in
the
classification
system.
The
correct
order
from
the
highest
level
is:
Domain,
Kingdom,
Phylum,
Class,
Order,
Family,
Genus,
and
Species
Six
Kingdoms
of
Life
There
are
a
total
of
six
different
Kingdoms
in
the
classification
system.
The
names
of
the
six
different
Kingdom’s
are
as
follows:
Animals
(Animalia),
Plants
(Plantae),
Archaebacteria,
Eubacteria,
Fungi,
and
Protists.
