BAB 5 Klasifikasi Makhluk Hidup -TAKSON || IPA Kelas 7 Kurikulum Merdeka

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the classification of living organisms, based on the concepts presented in the video "BAB 5 Klasifikasi Makhluk Hidup -TAKSON." Understanding how living things are categorized is essential for students studying science in the 7th grade under the Kurikulum Merdeka. This guide will break down the key concepts and steps involved in classifying living organisms.

Step 1: Understand the Concept of Taxonomy

• Taxonomy is the science of classifying living organisms.
• It helps scientists and students organize and identify organisms based on shared characteristics.
• Familiarize yourself with the hierarchy of biological classification, which includes the following levels:
  • Domain
  • Kingdom
  • Phylum
  • Class
  • Order
  • Family
  • Genus
  • Species

Step 2: Learn About the Different Levels of Classification

• Domain: The highest taxonomic rank, which groups organisms based on fundamental differences.
  • Examples: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.
• Kingdom: The next level down, grouping organisms that share certain traits.
  • Examples: Animalia (animals), Plantae (plants), Fungi (fungi), Protista (protists).
• Phylum to Species: Each subsequent level narrows down the classification.
  • A species is the most specific classification, representing a group of individuals that can breed.

Step 3: Recognize the Importance of Classification

• Classification helps in:
  • Identifying organisms accurately.
  • Understanding the relationships and evolutionary history between different organisms.
  • Facilitating communication among scientists globally.

Step 4: Explore Examples of Classification

• Example of Animal Classification:
  • Kingdom: Animalia
    • Phylum: Chordata
      • Class: Mammalia
        • Order: Carnivora
          • Family: Felidae
            • Genus: Panthera
              • Species: Panthera leo (lion)
• Example of Plant Classification:
  • Kingdom: Plantae
    • Phylum: Angiosperms
      • Class: Eudicots
        • Order: Rosales
          • Family: Rosaceae
            • Genus: Rosa
              • Species: Rosa rubiginosa (sweet briar)

Step 5: Practice Classifying Organisms

• Use worksheets or online tools to practice classifying different organisms.
• Try to categorize various plants and animals using the taxonomic hierarchy.
• Discuss your findings with peers to reinforce learning.

Conclusion

Understanding the classification of living organisms is crucial for grasping biological concepts. By following these steps, you can deepen your knowledge of taxonomy and improve your ability to identify and categorize various life forms. As a next step, consider exploring the specific characteristics of organisms within each kingdom and their ecological roles.
