Question

Which of the following would be the best way to determine whether a cell belonged with Archaea or Bacteria?

A.Check to see if it can form a capsid around itself since only Bacteria can do that.

B.Test to see if it can survive in harsh environments since only Archaea survive these.

C.Test for the presence of a special form of RNA polymerase because only Bacteria has this.

D.Check to see if it has a nucleus because only Archaea have nuclei.

Answer 1

Archaea: cell membrane contains ether linkages; cell wall lacks peptidoglycan; genes and enzymes behave more like Eukaryotes; have three RNA polymerases like eukaryotes; and extremophiles

Bacteria: cell membrane contains ester bonds; cell wall made of peptidoglycan; have only one RNA polymerase; react to antibiotics in a different way than archea do.
