ACTIVITY

Instruction:
Give information about each Domain System of
Classification.

Materials:
- Manila paper
- Pentel pen

For Group1: Domain Archaea

Group 2: Domain Bacteria
Group 3: Domain Eukarya
ANALYSIS
OBJECTIVES:
1. Define Binomial Nomenclature
2. Discuss how to write Scientific Name
3. Determine the 3 Domain System of
Classification and its kingdom.
 BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
- biomen, means ‘’two names’’ in
Latin.
- Legacy of Swedish Naturalist, Carl
von Linne’ (Carolus Linnaeus).
- During 18th century, Linnaeus
proposed and started to give two
Latinized names for each
organisms.
- The first name called genus always
starts with a capital letter, while the
second name called the species
always starts with a small letter.
 WRITING SCIENTIFIC NAMES
The rules for writing scientific names:
 Capitalize the first letter of the genus name.
 Do not capitalize the species name.
 Both names must be underlined or italicized.
 Example: Homo sapiens

genus species
 Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
- Nucleus in cells that contain DNA in chromosomes having
a role in heredity.
In Eukaryotes, these materials are enclosed in a
membrane.
- multicellular, larger in size because of the greater number
of cells their bodies contain.
In Prokaryotes, they are not enclosed with membrane.
- they are tiny and unicellular referred as microorganisms.
- Divided into two domains:
1. Archaea
2. Bacteria
3-Domain System of Classification
(Prokaryotes)

1. Archaea
2. Bacteria
(Eukaryotes)

3. Eukarya
- Protists
- Fungi
- Plants
- Animals
 ARCHAEA DOMAIN:

Kingdom Archaebacteria
- Organisms belong to this kingdom are all microscopic.
- They live in various places, some even in the most severe
environments. Methanogens, Halophiles, and
Thermophiles are examples of Archaebacteria.

*Some Archaebacteria survive in acidic and even cold

environments*
Methanogens
- Present on bottoms of lakes, swamps, and rice fields.
- Characteristic: They produce Methane gas.
Halophiles
- Adapted to very salty environments.
- Examples: Haloccocus dombrowski and Halobacterium
salinarum.
Thermophiles
- Live in places with high temperature include volcanic and
hot springs.
 BACTERIA DOMAIN:
Kingdom Eubacteria
- Are unicellular and microscopic.
- They are referred to as the ‘’true bacteria’’ and are usually
called the ‘’bacteria’’ group. Their cell walls are made of
peptidoglycan, a carbohydrate.
- Bacteria consist of a very diverse group. They have varied
shapes. They can be found in almost all kinds of places, in
soil, water, and air. Some present in raw or spoiled food;
others live in or on other organisms including your body.
- Can cause disease and harm to other organisms but most
importantly, bacteria have a variety of uses for the
environment.
Oil glands swell and result to pimples
- Propionibacterium acnes

Tuberculosis
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Leptospirosis
(present in the urine and tissues of cattle, pigs, horses, dogs, rats, and
wild animals).
-Leptospira interrogans

Anthrax
(affects animals like cows and carabaos but can be
transmitted to humans).
- Bacillus anthracis
Cyanobacteria
- another group of bacteria.
- are plantlike because they have chlorophyll-containing cells.
- most of them are single-celled, some form filaments, while
others form spores.
- grow in ditches, esteros, or in moist places like gardens and
sidewalls where light is present.
- Example:
-Anabaena azollae, important in Agriculture. It converts nitrogen
in air into compounds usable by plants for growth and
development.
-Bacillus thuringiensis, used to control pests and insects
carrying disease-causing organisms.
