Archaea were initially viewed as extremophiles living in harsh environments, such as hot springsand salt lakes, but they have since been found in a broad range of habitats, including soils, oceans, marshlands and the human colon, oral cavity, and skin.

Cell Type

Archaebacteria are prokaryotic, which means that they have no cell nucleus.

Cellular Organization

Archaebacteria while structured they are unicellular simple organisms, though their elaborate design gives them the ability to preform all the necessary life functions in a single cell.

Mode of Nutrition

There are many different types of archae, with many different ways of nutrition:
- Phototrophs are autotrophic, meaning they get their energy from sunlight
- Lithotrophs are also autotrophic, but they get their energy from inorganic compounds
- Organotrophs are heterotrophic because they get nutrition from organic compounds

Characteristics of Archaebacteria

tlaspencer428 — 2016-05-09 13:02:36 UTC

archae possess genes that are more similar to eukaryotes than to bacteria, despite their name
archae have many different energy sources: organic compounds (i.e. sugars), ammonia, metal ions, and hydrogen gas
live in a wide range of habitats, but were initially found in hot springs and salt lakes

Archaebacteria are Asexual in nature, since they are unicellular Archaebacteria simply split like any other cell or other similar means.
