						<p>Organisms (living things) are organized into the following categories:</p>
						<div id="classification">
							<div class="accordion">
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #005; width: 100%;">Kingdom</h3>
									<p>There are 6 kingdoms of organisms: Protists, Fungi, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria,
									Plants, and Animals. Kingdoms are huge groups with a wide range of organisms. For
									example, the Plant Kingdom contains mosses but also huge oak trees. The Animal
									Kingdom has organisms as different as flies and people.</p>
								</div>
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #500; width: 90%;">Phylum</h3>
									<p>The Animal Kingdom is divided into 33 phyla, including: <i>Porifera</i> (sponges), <i>Cnidaria</i>
									(jellyfish, corals, anemones, and hydra), <i>Plateyhelminthes</i> (flatworms), <i>Arthropods</i>
									crustaceans, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, and insects), <i>Molluscs</i> (clams, snails, slugs,
									nautilus, squid, and octopus), <i>Echinoderms</i> (starfish, sea lillies, sea urchins, sea cucumbers,
									and brittle stars), <i>Annelids</i> (polychaetes, earthworms, and leeches), and <i>Chordates</i>
									(tunicates, lancelets, and vertebrates -- this includes fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds,
									and mammals).</p>
								</div>
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #050; width: 80%;">Class</h3>
									<p>There are 7 classes of vertebrate animals: <i>Agnatha, Chondrichthyes,
									Osteichthyes</i> (all of which are classifications of fish), <i>Amphibia</i> (amphibians),
									<i>Reptilia</i> (reptiles), <i>Aves</i> (birds), and <i>Mammalia</i> (mammals).</p>
								</div>
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #303; width: 70%;">Order</h3>
									<p>Orders break down organisms into even smaller groups. Some Orders in the Animal
									Kingdom include: <i>Primates</i> (monkeys, apes, lemurs, people), <i>Carnivora</i> (carnivorous
									animals with pointed canine teeth and molars), <i>Insectivora</i> (moles, shrews, hedgehogs,
									all of which eat insects). Scientists disagree over what Order certain organisms belong to.</p>
								</div>
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #330; width: 60%;">Family</h3>
									<p>Families divide organisms further. For example, the family <i>Felidae</i> contains all
									cats. Like with Orders, some scientists disagree on what Family organisms belong to.</p>
								</div>
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #033; width: 50%;">Genus</h3>
									<p>A genus is a group of closely related species. Animals scientific names are
									usually given with both the genus and species. For example, <i>Tyrannosaurus rex</i>
									(<i>Tyrannosaurus</i> being the genus) and <i>Panthera leo</i> (lion) and <i>Panthera
									tigris</i> (tiger), both of which are in the genus <i>Panthera</i>.</p>
								</div>
								<div>
									<h3 style="background-color: #222; width: 40%;">Species</h3>
									<p>A species is a group of closely related organisms with similar genetic
									code that can interbreed. This is the most specific categroy. Two animals
									of the same species are more closely related to each other than two
									animals of the same genus, family, order, etc. if they are not of the
									same species.</p>
