In the domain system of classification, prokaryotes are divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. The two domains differ in all BUT one feature. Which feature do they have in common? Question options: They both have identical cell walls. They both have prokaryotic cells. They both thrive in extreme environments. They both are able to live only under anaerobic conditions.

Why is there a debate as to whether archaea is classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic
Define the following terms:a. prokaryoteb. eukaryotec. organelled. hydrophilice. hydrophobic
There are three main ways that bacteria and archaea are essential to eukaryotic life. Explain the three different ways and give at least one example of each.
Some prokaryotes, especially archaea, are capable of living in extreme environments, such as deep-sea vents, where temperatures can reach 80°C (176°F). Few organisms can survive at this temperature. What adaptations might archaea possess that allow them to survive in such extreme heat?
Construct your own concept map using the following words as the concepts. Supply the linking words between each pair of concepts. (Make one concept map for prokaryotic microbes and another for eukaryotic microbes) PROKARYOTIC MICROBES: genus species serotype domain Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete EUKARYOTIC MICROBES: Golgi apparatus chloroplasts cytoplasm endospore ribosomes flagella nucleolus
Why do some microbiologists disagree with classifying bacteria and archaea as “prokaryotes”?
Archaea are so named because option1-their cell structure is thought to be more primitive than the cell structure of bacteria option2-they arose from the joining of members from the Archaea and Bacteria Domains. option3-many survive in extreme conditions thought to be similar to ancient earth option4-they are thought to be the first group of prokaryotes to evolve on earth
What are the flaws ? Prokaryotes can live in many different environments. Anerobic organisms need oxygen to survive, while aerobic organisms can survive without oxygen. Autotrophs are organisms that can assemble high energy macromolecules for their energy. Chemotrophs are organisms that capture energy from light. Extremophiles are organisms that grow in extreme conditions like boiling water. Gram-positive bacteria have few layers of peptidoglycan, while gram-negative bacteria have many layers of peptidoglycan and are surrounded by an outer membrane. Harmful bacteria can cause illness like food poisoning. Helpful bacteria can be used in food production to make yogurt. The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotes were once free living prokaryotes. This is supported by the mitochondria and cytoplasm since they have their own DNA and ribosomes. Harmful protists can cause diseases like malaria in humans and downy mildew in plants. Helpful protists can be…
Paramecia live mostly in freshwater and move with the use of structures called cilia. They utilize contractile vacuoles to expel water that enters the cell by osmosis. Euglena are unicellular organisms that use flagella for movement and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. They are found in freshwater and saltwater. Scientists have determined that Paramecia and Euglena are eukaryotes and not prokaryotes because they have
