Carl Woese, of the University of Illinois, discovered archaea. He realized that while these creatures - the smallest, simplest organisms on earth - were similar to bacteria, and shared bacteria's key feature (no nucelus), their genes greatly resembled those of more advanced cells. He proposed that these new organisms be classified in their own kingdom, today known as "archaea."

Why do you think Linnaeus did not include classifications for archaea and bacteria?
Linnaeus did not include classifications for archaea and bacteria because they were unknown to him during his time. Microorganisms like archaea and bacteria were not discovered and understood until much later, after Linnaeus had already developed his naming system based on observable characteristics of plants and animals.
Which is not a kingdom in the eukarya domain?
Bacteria archaea
Do archaea possess linear chromosomes?
Yes, archaea do possess linear chromosomes.
What are the harmful effects of archaea?
Archaea are not known to cause harmful effects in humans. However, some archaea species can be pathogenic to certain animals or plants. Additionally, archaea can contribute to global warming through their production of methane gas in anaerobic environments.
Is an archaea an SC or MC?
An archaea is a single-celled (SC) organism. Archaea are prokaryotic microorganisms that are similar to bacteria but belong to a separate domain of life.
What would Pyrolobus fumarii be categorized as?
First discovered in 1997, Pyrolobus fumarii is a species of archaea.
Where is one of the first places that archaebacteria were discovered?
One of the first places where archaea were discovered is in extreme environments such as hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and acidic environments like sulfuric springs. These unique environments provided scientists with early insights into the diversity and resilience of archaea.

Why are members of this domain called archaea?
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.
What are facts about the kindgom archaea?

What is the common scientific name for domain archaea?
Firstly, there is no such thing as a 'common scientific name'; that is a contradiction, containing two opposites. The scientific name for the Archaea is Archaea.
Are archaea autotroph's?
Archaea are both heterotrophs And autotrophs!
What is a commmon characteristic for archaea?
Archaea are prokaryotic cells.
What is the relationship between archaea and humans?
archaea are ancient prokaryotes and humans are eukaryotes. archaea and eukaryotes have some similar genetic processes so it is thought that archaea are evolutionary closer to eukaryotes. this in turn means that humans have evolved indirectly from archaea
When was The Surprising Archaea created?
The Surprising Archaea was created in 2000.
