RECENT CHANGES IN SYSTEMATICS OF LIFE, FUNGAL SYSTEMATICS AND PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATION
Keywords:
systematics, kingdoms, kingdom Fungi, the lifeAbstract
General and common divide of life species into two groups, plants and animals, has been changed in recent systematics, even though it still exist in our schools. The main reasons for that, apart from insufficient knowledge of recent systematics archived by using the old books, are simplicity and practicality of previous systematics. Recent systematics divide the life into 6 groups: archaeabacteria, eubacteria, protists, plants, animals and fungi. The principles of division are cell organization, multicellularity, way of producing the food (energy) and presence of certain macromolecules in cell composition. Systematics of fungi has changed in sense that are excluded from plants kingdom and included into a new kingdom - Fungi. Systematics of high taxa has always been controversial, and we still have disagreements about the basic groups of life. Despite more complexed, recent systematics of life should find its place in our schools.
