There is strong and growing evidence that Archaea are the closest current example of the original form of life on Earth and it is thus possible that the origins of life on other planets may be found in similar organisms.
More Information:
The term archaebacteria is now considered outdated since in recent years it has come to be understood that Archaea and Bacteria share little and have long and distinct evolutionary backgrounds.
The Archaea are single-celled microorganisms with no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles. As such, the are highly simplified. The archaeal lineage may be the most ancient that exists on Earth.

Why are scientist who are searching for life on other planets studying archaebacteria?
They live in conditions similar to those likely to be found on other planets.
What is a room containing telescopes for studying planets?
planatarium:)
Which of the planets do scientists NOT consider a major planet?
There are eight planets, which can also be loosely descibed as major planets. Below that there are dwarf planets and then minor planets, also know as asteroids.
How are planets made from gas?
Scientists predict that they are planets because there wouldn't be random gas' from unknown places
What invention helped early scientists discover more planets?
The Telescope
Why are scientists who are searching for life on other planets studying Archae bateria?
Archaebacteria are the oldest and most primitive forms of life on planet Earth. It is postulated that primitive life on other planets would be most likely to resemble Archaebacteria. In addition, Archaebacteria were the first life forms to exist on Earth, so studying them allows xenobiologists to postulate how life may come into being on other planets.
Why are scientist who are searching for life on other planets studying archaebacteria?
They live in conditions similar to those likely to be found on other planets.
How can studying earth help scientists understand other planets?
Studying the earth helps scientists to understand other planets since the earth is part of the solar system. Scientists use the features of the earth to compare them with what other planets hold.
Which planets can we visit, and why?
mars because the scientists are searching right now
Scientists look for what molecule when they are investigating the possibility of life on other planets?
All life as we currently know it cannot exist without water (H2O). Scientists look for signs of water when searching for life on other planets.
Is there life on other panets?
scientists are studying about life on mars, but unfortunately it is still unknown! there is still no life on other planets.
What is the main way that scientists determine which conditions can support life A. by studying life on other planets B. by studying other planets C. by studying life on Earth D. by running computer simulations?
C. Since Earth is the only planet that we know of with life on it, it is obviously the one that we study when it comes to the subject.
What kingdoms organisms would you expect the new planets organisms to resemble?
Archaebacteria
Is earth the only planet in the solar system which has living things?
So far yes, but scientists are still searching for other life forms on planets such as Mars.
Why are scientists interested in studying meteorites?
so they can find out about the early solar system and how planets were formed
What do scientists know about the outside planets?
They are gas planets
What is a room containing telescopes for studying planets?
