Y9 ch1 classification of living things 2020
The document provides information on classifying living things. It outlines 7 characteristics of living things including movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition. It then discusses the 5 kingdoms used to classify organisms - animals, plants, fungi, protoctists and bacteria. Each kingdom is further divided into smaller groups like phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. The animal kingdom is discussed in more detail, outlining the 5 classes of vertebrates and providing examples of invertebrate groups like insects, arachnids, crustaceans and myriapods.

Introduction to classification and characteristics of living things. There are 1.4 million species, grouped into 5 kingdoms.
Introduces the animal kingdom, dividing it into vertebrates and invertebrates and outlining five classes of vertebrates.
Breakdown of vertebrates: Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals, detailing features like body covering and reproductive methods.
Focuses on invertebrates: Insects, Arachnids, Crustaceans, and Myriapods. Highlights their features, including body structure and molting.

- 3. characteristic Definition Movement Theability to change position of part or all the body Respiration The break down of food molecules inside living cells to release energy Sensitivity The ability to sense and respond to changes in the internal or external environment. Growth The permanent increase in (dry) mass, size and/or number of cells. Reproduction The ability to produce organisms of the same kind. Excretion The removal of metabolic wastes, toxic molecules and substances in excess of requirement from the body Nutrition Taking in substances needed for growth, respiration and repair.
