TEKS:

(A) define taxonomy and recognize the importance of a standardized taxonomic system to the scientific community;
(B) categorize organisms using a hierarchical classification system based on similarities and differences shared among groups; and
(C) compare characteristics of taxonomic groups, including archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
