Archaea Definition:

  • Kingdom of prokaryotic organisms whose biochemistry and molecular biology resemble those of eukaryotes as well as those of bacteria. archaea typically live in extreme environments that are very hot or very salty.

    Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver



Archaea Notes:

Archaea is the domain of single-celled organisms that are basically prokaryotes, but resemble to the eukaryotes and bacteria in terms of their molecular biology and biochemistry. They typically live in very hot or very salty extreme environments. They were classified as bacteria initially, getting their name archaebacteria, but this classification is no longer valid.
