Characteristics Of Bacteria, Archaea, And Eukaryote

can be characterised into two distinct types: Eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are the oldest and most primitive forms of life and can be distinguished from eukaryotes as they lack a distinct nucleus. Prokaryotes can be further classified into two domains: bacteria and archaea. Together, bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes make up what is known as ‘The three domains of life” which divides all cellular life on Earth. Even though bacteria and archaea are both classified as prokaryotes, there has

Archaea are extremophiles because this organisms are inhibit extreme environment and are well adapted with their habitat. Archaea are only presence in minority diverse. Archaea used cultured independent technique in global habitat in their presence, so they cannot be cultured in the laboratory setting. One thing that commonly used culture independent technique is the isolation, and analysis of nucleic acid rather than analysis of cultured sample isolated from the same environment. They using RNA

defined taxon as a single taxonomic group of any level that is unique and independent from other groups. (Mayr, 1981) Since then, several diverse hypotheses were suggested and majority of scientists agreed to classify organisms into two major domains, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. At that time, the principle of two domains seemed to be fairly reasonable and was widely accepted amongst scientists. Since then, the same definitions for those two

Reflections on the Biology and Phylogeny of the Protozoa.’ (Chatton, 1925). Since then the term, when paired with its dichotomous counterpart ‘eukaryote’, has formed the fundamental basis for classification in biology. However in recent years the concept of the prokaryote has been wildly contested as being inaccurate (amongst other things), and the dichotomy of eukaryote/prokaryote based on a misleading and ultimately incorrect distinction that is phylogenetically contestable. This essay will examine the

Abstract The main purpose of this essay is to find out if Archaea and Bacteria should be classified as two different Domains or as a single one. As bacteria and archaea both are microscopic and prokaryotic. These two prokaryotes are very abundant on Earth and inhabit a wide spread of areas, also including extreme ones. Both are an example of the most ancient living cells, which have appeared over 3.5 billion years ago. Correct classification of these two organisms is important in order to trace

tremendous amount of variation as well. In an earlier paper I have covered Eukaryotes to some degree and now we delve into the Prokaryotic domain. In this paper I will discuss the distinctions between the Archaea and Bacteria domains, give a definition of both DNA and RNA (and the roles they play in determining the previous domains), metabolism’s role in classifying Nitrosococcus oceani and Nitrosopumilus maritimus as Archaea or Bacteria, and each of the organism 's ability to thrive in an environment where

are the bacteria and archaea. During early stages they were considered to be the same however in the 1970’s scientists discovered that major differences do set them apart. Essentially the prokaryotes include bacteria while the eukaryotes had already included the archaea. The archaea is seen as a survivor as it is thought to have been around since the beginning of our time. So what are we then exactly? We are nothing else than a biological form that is also a habitat for Bacteria and archaea. As much

of the prokaryote/eukaryote dichotomy, first formally proposed in 1990 by Carl Woese and colleagues (Woese, Kandler and Wheelis, 1990) and yet still unresolved in the present day. Prokaryotes were defined in 1962 by Stanier and van Niel as “anucleate cells, without membrane enclosed organelles of respiration or photosynthesis, divided by fission not mitosis, and used peptidoglycan to strengthen their walls” (Mayr, 1998). This definition and the creation of the prokaryote/eukaryote dichotomy served

was first to divide cells into either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and include protists, plants, fungi and animal cells. They are described as ‘a type of cell with membrane-enclosed organelles and membrane-enclosed nucleus’ (Cain et al, 2014, p171). A typically smaller prokaryotic cell ‘lacks a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles’; this term includes the domains of bacteria and Archaea (Cain et al, 2014, p171). Prokaryotic cells evolved

system, organisms are classified into three domains and six kingdoms . The domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. The kingdoms are Archaebacteria (ancient bacteria), Eubacteria (true bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and
