Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the domain of prokaryotes that can live in very harsh environments.
A
Bacteria
B
Archaea
C
Protist
D
Fungi
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The domains Bacteria and Archaea are the ones containing prokaryotic organisms. The Archaea are prokaryotes that inhabit extreme environments, such as inside of volcanoes, while Bacteria are more common organisms, such as E. coli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaea that live in extremely hot environments are called thermophiles. Archaea that produce methane are called methanogens. Archaea are known for living in extreme environments, but they also can be found in common environments, like soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Archaea is the main group to thrive in extreme environments. Although members of this group are generally less versatile than bacteria and eukaryotes, they are generally quite skilled in adapting to different extreme conditions, holding frequently extremophily records.

Detailed explanation-4: -Archaea (/ɑːrˈkiːə/ ( listen) ar-KEE-ə; singular archaeon /ɑːrˈkiːən/) is a domain of single-celled organisms. These microorganisms lack cell nuclei and are therefore prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Domain Archaea contains some prokaryotic cells that live in conditions that are too extreme for other forms of life. Thermophiles thrive at temperatures as hot as 90°C and are found in deep-sea volcanic vents and hot springs.
