Archaea and bacteria are similar in that their cells are small and lack a nucleus.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>
  • Living organisms can either be classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes.
<h3>Eukaryotes  </h3>
  • These are organisms that contain membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, etc.
<h3>Prokaryotes  </h3>
  • These are organisms that lack nucleus membrane and a nucleus together with membrane bound organelles. They include lower organisms such as bacteria and Archaea.
  • Archaea and bacteria are examples of prokaryotes since they lack nucleus and other membrane bound organelles such as mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
<h3>Similarities between Archaea and Bacteria </h3>
  • Both are prokaryotic organisms  
  • They have ribosomes which is the site for protein synthesis  
  • Both lack membrane-bound cellular organelles such as mitochondrion.
  • Both archaea and bacteria have flagella
<h3>Differences between Archaea and Bacteria </h3>
  • Archaea cell wall contains  while the cell wall of bacteria contains peptidoglycan
  • Bacteria can form spores which remain dormant for years until they get a suitable habitat for them to grow, while Archaea do not.
  • Archaea live in extreme and harsh environments such as salt lakes, oceans,etc. while bacteria are in areas such as in the soil, organic matter, etc.

Answer:

The correct answer would be b. Their cells are small and lack a nucleus.

Both archaea and bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that is, they both are devoid of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplast et cetera.

They also share a similarity in terms of shape and size of the cells. Both of them are unicellular in nature and can not be seen by naked eyes.

They show variations in their genetic and biochemical ways. For example, archae contains three RNA polymerases whereas bacteria contain a single RNA polymerase.

Their cell wall also show variation in composition. For example, a bacterial cell wall contains peptidoglycans, whereas archae cell wall does not.

Thus, we can say that archae and bacteria are similar in a manner that their cells are small and lack a nucleus.

How are the Kissimmee River, Lake Okeechobee, and the Everglades related?
Taya2010 [7]
Between 1962 and 1971, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) channeled the Kissimmee River and created a 30-foot deep, 300-foot wide, 56 mile long drainage canal (C-38). This project converted 44% of the floodplain to pasture, draining approximately 31,000 acres of wetlands. Before channelization, the River was a haven for wildlife, including at least 39 species of fish and 38 species of water birds.

Kissimmee River Restoration began in 1992 and has been the most successful ecosystem restoration initiative to date. By re-channelizing the River to replicate its natural paths, birds and other wildlife responded more quickly than anticipated and demonstrated the resiliency of nature. This success has been used all over the world to justify the value of ecosystem restoration. When Kissimmee River Restoration is completed in 2015, more than 40 square miles of the River-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of historic river channel.
