Best Answer

Archebacteria are bacteria that have survived thousands of years, and first developed in the late Precambrian era. Archebacteria can survive in extreme temperatures, breathe in carbon dioxide, and can live in the harshest conditions.

Archebacteria still live today, along with their more modern cousins of Eurbacteria.

What are the differences between archaebacteria and monerans?

Archaebacteria and monerans are both classifications of single-celled organisms, but monerans belong to the domain Bacteria while archaebacteria belong to the domain Archaea. Archaebacteria are known for living in extreme environments, while monerans are more commonly found in diverse habitats. Additionally, archaebacteria have unique cell membrane structures and genetic sequences that distinguish them from monerans.

I think this would be superkingdom (which also has other names). This is broader than the kingdoms (plants, animals, protists, archaeobacteria, eubacteria, and I don't remember the other(s)). DOMAIN DOMAIN


How do archaebacteria transform energy?

Some archaebacteria get energy from inorganic compounds available such as sulfur or ammonia. Other groups of archaeobacteria get energy from sunlight. To transform the energy, they use a modified form of glycolysis and a partial citric acid cycle or a complete one.


Why is difficult to classify bacteria and archaea down to the species level?

There are several things that make archaeobacteria hard to study. They live without oxygen and in high temperature environments and they have either a very high or low pH.
