Archaea are a distinct domain of life, separate from bacteria and eukaryotes, characterized by unique biochemical and genetic properties. They are often extremophiles, thriving in harsh environments like hot springs, salt lakes, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents, though they also inhabit more common habitats. Archaea possess distinct cell membrane structures and lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls, which differentiates them from bacteria. They play crucial roles in biogeochemical cycles, such as methane production and nitrogen fixation.
Archaea are prokaryotic organisms that are known for their ability to survive in extreme environments such as hot springs, salt flats, and deep sea vents. They have unique cell membranes and cell walls compared to bacteria and eukaryotes. Some archaea are also known for their metabolic diversity, playing important roles in processes like methane production and sulfur cycling.
No, humans do not belong to the Archaea domain. Humans are classified as eukaryotes within the domain Eukarya, which includes all organisms with complex cells containing a nucleus. Archaea, on the other hand, are a separate domain of prokaryotic microorganisms that are distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes. While humans and archaea share some common ancestry at a very basic level, they are fundamentally different in terms of cellular structure and biological classification.
Because some archaea are heterotrophs while others are autotrophs.
both archaea and bacteria are domains that are made up of prokaryots. prokaryots do not have a nucleus. the only domain that is known to have nuclei is eukarya.
Most organisms within the domain Archaea are single-celled microorganisms. These tiny organisms do not have cell nuclei that are bounded by an outer membrane. Because of this, these organisms also are called prokaryotes.

A group of microorganisms that resemble bacteria but are different from them such as the composition of their cell walls. Archaea usually live in extreme, often very hot or salty environments. The archaea are considered a separate kingdom in some classifications. Some scientists believe that archaea were the earliest forms of cellular life.

Arche bacteria are much closer to eukaryotes.Bacteria also have some similarities. NO. Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryota. Bacteria are more closely related to the more complex organisms (Eukaryotes). Archaea are now considered in their own domain. The Archaea in plankton are the most abundant organism on the planet.
No, not all members of the domain Archaea require an oxygen-free environment for survival. While some Archaea are obligate anaerobes that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen, others are facultative anaerobes that can switch between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism depending on oxygen availability.
The three-domain system classifies all living things into one of three large domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.The Eukarya domain contains all organisms with eukaryotic cells. From the classification system, then, the Eukarya domain would contain all members of kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.The organisms that our system puts in kingdom Monera would go into either the Archaea domain or the Bacteria domain, depending on certain characteristics.Those prokaryotic organisms that live in very extreme environments such as boiling hot springs or incredibly salty lakes belong in domain Archaea, while those prokaryotic organisms that live in more "normal" environments would belong in domain Bacteria.Most users of the three-domain system have only one kingdom in Archaea and only one kingdom in Bacteria, but they have many kingdoms in Eukarya. Some users of the three-domain system have kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia in the Eukarya domain, but most split domain Eukarya into many, many different kingdoms.Partial source: "Exploring Creation with Biology" by Dr. Jay L.

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!)
Domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya include species that have cell walls. This includes bacteria with peptidoglycan cell walls, archaea with pseudopeptidoglycan cell walls, and plants, fungi, and some protists within the domain Eukarya with cellulose or chitin cell walls.
The two prokaryotic domains are Archaea (archaebacteria) and Bacteria (eubacteria).
