Question

What is the difference between Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, and Fungi?

Answer 1

Archaebacteria are like Eubacteria, which are just able to survive dangerous conditions, such as high salinity, extreme temperatures, and no oxygen.

Eubacteria are your garden-variety prokaryotic organisms that can cause the common cold and make bread rise, which don't have nuclei.

Fungi are similar to plants in the way that their cells are structured, except they have cell walls made of chitin, instead of cellulose like Plants. They decompose food and eat it using chemosynthesis, breaking it down into organic matter, which allows for the cycling of materials through a food chain.

Protista is really tough. You see, protists are basically a fancy word scientists picked instead of "miscellaneous", because there are plant-like, fungi-like, and animal-like protists. They really have no defining characteristics to speak of except that they have weird quirky qualities that don't allow them to fit in any groups.

Hope this helped! :)
