In the five-kingdom classification system, all prokaryotes belong to the kingdom Monera. Which of the following best explains a reason why prokaryotes were separated into different domains, Eubacteria and Archaea?

Unlike Eubacteria, Archaea are capable of surviving in extreme environments. Unlike Eubacteria, Archaea do not have a membrane-bound nucleus.
