4. Which characteristic below would be different between Archaebacteria and Eubacteria?A. style of reproductionB. molecular organizationC. cellular typeD. motility

Respuesta :

Prokaryotes can be divided into Archaebacteria (or Archaea) and Eubacteria (or Bacteria), each being a domain of life.

They both share some characteristics, such as the size, not having organelles, nor a nucleus, a circular chromosome, and the presence of extrachromosomal DNA organized in plasmids.

But they also have important differences, such as different metabolic pathways, as the Archeas have enzymes more similar to the ones used by eukaryotes. Another significant difference is the cell structure, for example, ether lipids are present in their cell membranes.

Archea can be found in very different environments, even very extreme ones, thanks to their ability to use very different energy sources.

From the options provided, the characteristic that is different between Archea and Bacteria would be C. cellular type.
