Question

Compare and contrast the two prokaryotic kingdoms. What is one major difference that is apparent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bactera and Archaea

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are divided into two different kingdoms; Bacteria and Archaea. The major comparison between them is:

• Cell wall of bacteria is made up of peptidoglycans, while that of archaea is composed of pseudomureins.
• Bacteria have one rRNA while archaea have three rRNA.
• Growth of bacteria can be inhibited by antibiotics while that of archaea can't be inhibited by antibiotics.
• Bacteria can't survive at extreme high temperature above 100 degree Celsius, while archaea can survive in both extreme physical and geological conditions.
