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 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.
No, bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, not archaea. Archaea are a separate domain of single-celled microorganisms that are distinct from both bacteria and viruses.
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!)
Key genetic sequences suggest that archaea are more closely related to members of the domain Eukarya than to bacteria. Phylogenetic studies have revealed similarities in ribosomal RNA and other genetic markers, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship between archaea and eukaryotes. This finding has significant implications for our understanding of the tree of life and the evolution of cellular complexity.
The broadest category in biological taxonomy is called "domain." There are three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, with each domain encompassing different kingdoms of organisms.
like bacteria members of the domain archaea are unicellular prokaryotes
found in extreme enviorments

One is single celled one is not
Euryarchaeota is a kingdom of Archaea. Its domain is Archaea.
Both archea and bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning they have no nucleus.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus, Archaea do not.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus, Archaea do not.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus, Archaea do not.
The domain Archaea covers the organisms considered to be the oldest on earth.They are commonly called archaebacteria but they are quite different from bacteria and are now more properly called archaea.
The eubacteria (true bacteria) is an older classification, now just called bacteria, which is the domain itself. The other domain of prokaryotes is now called archaea.
