The archaebacteria kingdom is one of the six kingdoms. Organisms in this kingdom are also called Bacteria; they are unicellular and live in very extreme environments.

The "common bacteria" belongs to another kingdom; the Eubacteria kingdom, bacteria in this kingdom differ from bacteria in the archaebacteria kingdom and they do not live in extreme environments.

What are four types of toxic extremophiles?

An extremophile is any microbe that thrives in extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, salinity, or concentrations of hostile chemicals. Many extremophiles belong to the kingdom Archaea, also known as Archaebacteria, and most known Archaebacteria are extremophiles. There are also extremophiles to be found outside the kingdom Archaea; for example there are bacteria and eukaryotic prokaryotes that are extremophiles, as well as species of worm, crustacean, and krill.


What is another name for extremophiles?

Another name for extremophiles is Archaea.


Which domain do organisms live in extreme environments?

Organisms that live in extreme environments are often found in domains Archaea and Bacteria. These extremophiles thrive in conditions such as high temperatures, acidic environments, high salinity, or high pressure, where most other organisms cannot survive.


What are the 6 kingdoms and 3 domains?

Domains: Bacteria Archae Eukarya Kingdoms: Eubacteria Archaebacteria/Archae Protista Animalia Fungi Plantae You're on your own from there.


Why does being single-celled give a species of extremophiles a greater chance of survival?

Being single-celled allows extremophiles to adapt quickly to changes in extreme environments due to their simpler structure and metabolism. They can also reproduce rapidly, increasing their population size to enhance survival chances. Additionally, single-celled extremophiles can exchange genetic material with other nearby cells, increasing genetic diversity and aiding in adaptation.

What is archaebacteria comprised of?

Archae is the third major domain of life on earth with similarities to both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes. Their main differentiating features are that they have different rRNA genes on their 17s small ribosomal subunit, ether linked fatty acids (as opposed to ester links in the other 2 domains), a cell wall similar to gram positive baceria yet lacking peptidoglycan and instead having pseudopeptidoglycan, as well as major differences in the structure of their flagella. Archae are most widely known for their presence in highly inhospitable environments and are known as extremophiles.

What product of photosynthesis was poisonous to extremophiles and other bacteria?

If by extremophiles you mean anaerobic extremophiles, the answer is oxygen.


What were the first organism?

It is thought that the first organisms were the archae (extremophiles) as they live and thrive in extreme conditions such as extreme heat or acidic areas. These areas mimic the environment of Early Earth and are the only organism we know of that could have possibly survived 4 billon years ago

What are extremophiles and what does the word means?

An extremophile or thermophile is a type of organism that thrives on cheese. They are commonly known as little extremophiles as mentioned in Aeyron's "Ride The Comet". As depicted in the song they are own their own, they must find their way home and that they are the future and need to pass on their genes. For further information on Extremophiles please visit Al_Dog.com for discussion on the topic.


Are extremophiles rare?

no


Is Archae unicellular?

yes


Which domain is archaebacteria in?

Archae


Is archae a root word?

It could be both, but it's definitely a prefix, as in archenemy.


What does the prefix archae mean?

It means first as in archaeology which means going back to the people. SO archae means first.
