Question

When comparing archaea with bacteria, both archaea and bacteria are easily cultured and studied in the laboratory. a. the chemical nature of the cell wall of archaea and bacteria is identical and shows their early relationship. b. bacteria are not very diverse and are limited in distribution, while archaea are far more diverse and found everywhere. c. the archaea and bacteria are both derived from early eukarya. d. none of the choices are true.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 'c'

The archaea and bacteria diverge from early eukarya.

Explanation:

The cell wall material is different from archaea with bacteria as the cell wall of archaea lack peptidoglycan and contain lipid and hydrocarbons rather than fatty acid but the cell wall of bacteria contain peptidoglycans.

Archaea and bacteria both derived from eukarya as they both have similarities with eukarya.

The similarity between archaea and bacteria is that they both share lateral gene transfer.

There are similar features that are seen between archaea and bacteria like protein secretion,ATP production,protein modification etc.

Both bacteria and eukarya belongs to prokaryotes and the membrane of both eukarya and bacteria contain unbranched fatty acid chain that are attached to glycerol with ester bond.
