Archaea. Means " old ones " or " ancient ones " and this is because these type of bacteria were first in the bacterial linage.
Members of the domain Archaea are called archaea because they were initially mistaken for bacteria due to their small size and simple structure. When they were discovered to be a distinct group of organisms with unique characteristics, they were given the name Archaea, derived from the Greek word "archaios" meaning ancient, to reflect their ancient origins in evolutionary history.
Members of the domain Archaea are called "archaea" because they were initially thought to be ancient and primitive organisms that resemble the earliest forms of life on Earth. They were given this name as a reflection of their perceived evolutionary significance as ancient organisms that have persisted through time.
like bacteria members of the domain archaea are unicellular prokaryotes
You could isolate members of archaea from extreme environments such as hot springs, hydrothermal vents, or salty ponds due to their ability to thrive in extreme conditions. These unique habitats are where archaea are commonly found.
There in no archaea kingdom. There is such a thing called archeabacteria, but no archeabacteria
One is single celled one is not
found in extreme enviorments
Archaea,Bacteria,Prions and Viruses
An example is Archaea
Yes- archaea is another name for archaebacteria. If you disagree with me, look up the word archaea on dictionary.com and you will find this at the bottom of the definition:"Also called Archaebacteria."This (I would think) would prove my point in saying that Archaea is the same as Archaebacteria. The End.(If I am wrong, then don't blame me- blame ditionary.com and jsyk, I am NOT trying to dis dictionary.com, because they have a definition for the Beatles, which makes me VERY EMOTIONALLY HAPPY!!! 8D So don't think that I'm trying to dis dictionary.com! And if you didn't think I was, then good for you- you just earned a gold star sticker! BUT WAIT- THERE'S MORE! You also got some Brownie Points! Congrats!)
Members of the archaea group are similar to the bacteria group in that they are both single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They also share similarities in their genetic material and cell structure.
Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that are distinct from animals. They are considered one of the three domains of life, along with Bacteria and Eukarya. So, animals are not classified within the archaea kingdom.
