00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:17,449
in this video I'm going to explain you the classification of living things first I'm

2
00:00:17,449 --> 00:00:25,309
going to start with the term of a species we can see that a species is a set of living things with

3
00:00:25,309 --> 00:00:35,049
similar characteristics that can breed among themselves and have fertile offspring the

4
00:00:35,049 --> 00:00:42,130
variety of living things in one place is called biodiversity or biological

5
00:00:42,130 --> 00:00:49,149
diversity. Some species have been identified so far. Each species is

6
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:55,750
adapted to live in a specific environment. Classification of living

7
00:00:55,750 --> 00:01:01,369
things. Here you have a chart of the classification of living things. You only

8
00:01:01,369 --> 00:01:09,530
need to have a look because we are going to study the kingdoms now. In these two columns

9
00:01:10,409 --> 00:01:19,370
we find Monera with bacteria and in the rest of the columns in an orange color we can distinguish

10
00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:30,730
between protists, fungi, plants and animals. Nomenclature of species. The names usually used

11
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:36,969
to refer to species, are their common names. The problem is that these often

12
00:01:36,969 --> 00:01:43,290
vary from one region to another. For that reason, it was necessary to establish a single

13
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:49,849
international name for each species, referred to as the scientific name.

14
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:59,930
The scientific names are given according to a binomial nomenclature proposed by Linnaeus in 1758.

15
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:12,159
This is the first word, the genus, and it's written with the first letter in uppercase.

16
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:21,080
And this is the second word, the species. It's written in lowercase.

17
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:31,879
Here we have an example. You know what is this flower. The example is poppy. The genus would be

18
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:39,159
papaver species roeas and the scientific name is papaver roeas.

19
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:49,199
It's obvious you don't need to know all these scientific names. Nearly 400 years before

20
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:54,240
the birth of Christ, Aristotle classified living things into two major groups

21
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:01,919
of kingdoms, the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom. However, today we know of many organisms

22
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:08,000
that cannot be considered animals or plants and three new kingdoms have been created for them

23
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:21,819
fungi protoctists and monera now we are going to explain them monera kingdom this kingdom includes

24
00:03:21,819 --> 00:03:29,900
those microscopic organisms formed by a single prokaryotic cell without nucleus they are

25
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:39,259
bacterias. Prototyx kingdom. Some organisms ingest food but they only have one cell.

26
00:03:41,610 --> 00:03:52,330
Fungi kingdom. This kingdom feed on organic matter. It includes molds, fungi, mushrooms, and yeasts.

27
00:03:54,569 --> 00:04:01,449
Plant kingdom. This kingdom includes trees, shrubs, and herbs. They can absorb inorganic

28
00:04:01,449 --> 00:04:06,569
substances through the roots and synthesize nutrients in their leaves through photosynthesis

29
00:04:06,569 --> 00:04:11,229
using the green pigment called clarophyll.

30
00:04:11,229 --> 00:04:12,770
And finally animal kingdom.

31
00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:16,430
They are living things that feed on other living things.

32
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:19,129
We will study plants and animals in next units.
