The four distinct environments in North America are taiga, tropical forest, temperate forest, and tundra.

By looking at the behavior of small groups in a variety of environments

Monerans are classified as prokaryotes, which means they are single-celled organisms that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. They are further classified into two distinct groups: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Archaebacteria are known for living in extreme environments, while Eubacteria are more commonly found in everyday environments.

The three different environments created by the mountains in the Andean countries are the highland regions (above 3000 meters), the cloud forests located at mid-level altitudes, and the lowland regions known as the montane forests. Each of these environments has distinct ecological characteristics and supports diverse flora and fauna.

Archaebacteria, also known as archaea, are a group of bacteria that are considered ancient because they are phylogenetically distinct from other bacteria and have unique characteristics. They are known for their ability to thrive in extreme environments, such as hot springs, acidic environments, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
