What is an example of Archaea?
Amoebas are not a bacteria and are protozoa which are eukaryotes and NOT Archaea . Which unlike other bacteria does not have peptidoglycan and is more related to eukaryotes than bacteria that is why the name changed for Archaeabacteria to just Archaea, lives in extreme conditions but can be found in other places,such as 30%of marine microbes, and does not cause infections to humans . One example of Archaea is Methanococcus jammaschii which is one of the first to make this classification clear. Protozoa are eukaryotes ,while Archaea are prokaryotes without membrane bound organelles. Halobacterium Korarchaeota are only found in in high temperature hydrothermal environments
How do the two groups of prokaryotes differ?
They differ because one is cool and the other one is awesome
What is a characteristics of archaebacteria?
When first discovered in 1977 archaebacteria were classified as bacteria. They are now called Archaea. This change is to emphasise the difference between archaea and bacteria. Archaea are one of the three domains of life suggested by Carl Woese. The other two are Prokaryotae (bacteria) and Eukaryotae (everything else - plants, animals, fungi and protoctists). The features which distinguish archaea from other organisms include: 1) They have prokaryote cells (which have significant differences from other prokaryotes ie the bacteria) 2) The have lipids in their cell membranes composed of branched hydrocarbon chains attached to glycerol by ether linkages, instead of ester linkages 3) Their cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan, as bacterial cell walls do 4) They differ from bacteria in their sensitivity to antibiotics 5) They contain ribosomal RNA (rRNA) which differes from that found in bacteria and eukaryotes.

What type of microbe causes fungi?
There are six main types of microbes. Fungi is a microbe, with the other five being archaea, bacteria, protista, viruses and microbial mergers.
Bacteria and archaea together comprise what?
There is no answer to this. Bacteria and Archae are two domains, of which the other is Eukarya. These three domains together comprise "life" in general. Both domains are prokaryotes, but they can not be combined into a larger classification without the addition of Eukarya as well.
How are archaea distinguished from other prokaryote?
dont use this webstite seriously stick with the facts on other websites
What organism can live where no other organism's live?
bacteria domain archaea
Example of a prokaryotes?
Prokaryotes include bacteria and Archaea. One example of a bacteria is Streptococcus which causes Strep Throat and other illnesses.
To what domain does bacteria belong?
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.
What are the 2 domains of bacteria?
Pretty sure it's Bacteria and Archaea. These are the two domains of "bacteria" within the kingdom of the Prokaryotes. The Eukaryotes are all the other guys.
How does domain Eukarya differ from domain Bacteria and domain Archaea?
Eukarya has a doubled walled nucleus containing the genetic material and Bacteria and Archaea do not have contained genetic material. Eukarya has membrane bound organelles and the other two Domains do not. These are the pertinent differences.

Archaae eukarya and what are the three main domains?
The three main domains of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Archaea and Bacteria are prokaryotic, while Eukarya includes all organisms with eukaryotic cells, such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
What are the differences between bacteria and archeabacteria?
The main differences include:# Archaea have cell membranes composed of glycerol-ether lipids, while bacteria have glycerol-ester lipids. # Archaeal membrane lipids are also unique because the stereochemistry of the glycerol group is the reverse of that found in other organisms. # Archaea use methionine to start protein synthesis, bacteria use formylmethionine. # Archaea don't utilize chlorophyllfor photosynthesis and do not generate oxygen as byproduct of it. # Archaea are methanogenic. # As a general rule, Achaea can withstand more severe conditions than most bacteria. (ie. are extremophiles).
What taxonomic group includes kingdoms and all other levels of taxonomy?
The highest taxonomic group that includes kingdoms and all other levels of taxonomy is the domain. The three domains of life are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Kingdoms belong to the domain Eukarya, while Archaea and Bacteria represent separate domains.
How do the two groups of prokaryotes differ?
They differ because one is cool and the other one is awesome
How does the kingdom archaea obtain energy?
The Kingdom Archaea usually obtain energy through methanogene. Their nutrition mode includes photoautotroph, chemoautotroph, photoheterotroph, and chemoheterotroph just but to mention a few.
