Imagine, what would happen if we all look the same…
Now, think about nature. It works the same way.
Every species — no matter how big or small — plays a unique role in maintaining the balance of life on Earth.
Just like people, ecosystems thrive because of differences, NOT despite them.

BIODIVERSITY Day 1
classify organisms using the hierarchical taxonomic system. explain the advantage of high biodiversity in maintaining the stability of an ecosystem. Objectives:
UNJUMBLE ME!
ISAALREFF world’s largest flower
RAFFLESIA
MARAWTA “dwarf buffalo”
tamaraw
OUSME REED “ pilandok ”
MOUSE DEER
ARRTSIE mammal with the largest eyes
tarsier
ENDEMIC
The Philippines is an BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT
BIODIVERSITY variety of life
WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION? Arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities
TAXONOMY branch of science that deals with groups or names of organisms
CAROLUS LINNAEUS Father of Taxonomy
CAROLUS LINNAEUS Linnaeus Binomial System of Classification
BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE First word = genus Second word = species

Organisms are grouped by their shared characteristics
BIODIVERSITY Day 2
3 DOMAINS OF LIFE
BACTERIA ARCHAEA EUKARYA uni -cellular organisms prokaryotes found in all habitats uni -cellular organisms - can live in extreme environment have “true nucleus” multicellular eukaryotes
ARCHAEA Halophiles – salt-loving Thermophiles – extreme temperature (hot or cold) Acidophile – acidic conditions Methanogens – releases methane in the atmosphere
4 MAJOR KINGDOMS
PROTISTA
PROTISTA eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant , animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are multicellular
ANIMALIA FUNGI PLANTAE
KINGDOM PLANTAE
NON VASCULAR VASCULAR doesn’t have vascular tissues has vascular tissues
NON VASCULAR
VASCULAR
KINGDOM ANIMALIA
VERTEBRAE INVERTEBRAE backbone or spinal column does not have a backbone
INVERTEBRAE
Phylum Porifera “Sponges”
Phylum Cnidaria “Stinging Creatures”
Polyp Medusa
Phylum Arthropoda “Arthron” = foot
Phylum Arthropoda Animals under this have numerous legs
Phylum Mollusca “Soft bodies”
Phylum Echinodermata “spiny skin”
Phylum Platyhelminthes “flat worms”
“thread-like” aka roundworms
CLASSES OF VERTEBRATES
AGNATHA CHONDRICTHYES OSTEICHTHYES
What type of mammals are born premature then later develops in the pouch? Under what Phylum are flatworms? What do you call organisms that can live in extreme environments? Under what domain are organisms that have true nucleus? What do you call organisms that are eukaryotic but are not plants, animals or fungi?
