    INTRODUCTION

    
    

    In this topic, we are going to learn about plant names and identification. Let's have a sneak peek below:

    In this lesson you will learn the art of solving the mysteries of the plant kingdom involved with the use of common names for plants. Plant taxonomy is the science of classifying and naming plants. It is a branch of what is known as systematics, which is the science of determining how different biological organisms are related to each other. Taxonomy classifies plants and other organisms into different taxonomic levels. Besides, you will also learn the history of the development of the Kingdom Systems and the Spesies Concept.

    
    

    TOPICAL LEARNING OUTCOMES (TLO)

    I hope that at the end of this topic, you should be able to:

    • TLO 1: Describe the Binomial System of Nomenclature
    • TLO 2: Distinguish the basis for the classification system of organisms into Kingdoms
    • TLO 3: Explain the species grouping concepts

    
    

    SUBTOPICS

    The subtopics for this lesson are as follows:

    • Development of Binomial System of Nomenclature (TLO 1)
    • Development of the Kingdom (TLO 2)
    • Concept Classification of Major Group and Species Concepts (TLO 3)

    
    

    STUDENT LEARNING TIME (SLT)

     The estimated time for you to complete a topic 10 hours are as follows:

    • Describe the Binomial System of Nomenclature= 3 hours (TLO 1)
    • Distinguish the basis for the classification system of organisms into Kingdoms= 3 hours (TLO 2)
    • Explain the species grouping concepts= 4 hours (TLO 3)

    
    

    Now, let's embark on this journey together!

    1. Development of Binomial System of Nomenclature (TLO1)

    The development of the Binomial System of Nomenclature marks a pivotal moment in the history of biological classification. Introduced by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century, this systematic approach revolutionized the naming of living organisms, providing a universal and standardized method for assigning two-part Latin names to each species. The Binomial System simplifies communication, fosters clarity in scientific discourse, and remains an indispensable tool in the field of taxonomy, contributing significantly to our understanding of the vast diversity of life on Earth.

    2. Development of the Kingdom (TLO2)

    
    

    The development of the kingdom system in biological classification represents a fundamental stride in our understanding of life's diversity. Initially proposed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century, this hierarchical organization categorizes living organisms into broad groups based on shared characteristics. Over time, advancements in molecular biology and genetic analysis have refined and expanded the kingdom system, contributing to a more nuanced comprehension of the intricate relationships among various life forms on our planet.

    3. Species Concept (TLO3)

    The species concept is a cornerstone in the study of biodiversity, providing a framework to define and categorize distinct forms of life. Over the years, scientists have proposed various definitions, ranging from morphological characteristics to genetic relatedness. This concept serves as a critical tool in understanding the intricate web of life on Earth, fostering clarity in communication and contributing to our deeper comprehension of the unique attributes that define individual species.
