Hello all. If you have come by to check out information regarding this week's suggested assignments, please be sure to join my biology Remind. My remind code is @c5b1b. Here I will be making daily posts and assignments.
Today, I would like you to find out what classification and taxonomy is. This is our new unit. Watch the Amoeba Sisters videos and look for some questions posted in Remind to check for your understanding!

(C) compare characteristics of taxonomic groups, including archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
