Detailed explanation-1: -The cell types in Bacteria and Archaea are considered as “prokaryotes.” The use of the term prokaryote was first introduced as a result of electron microscope studies showing a shared simple cell structure among bacteria (Stanier & Van Niel 1962).
Detailed explanation-2: -The two prokaryote domains, Bacteria and Archaea, split from each other early in the evolution of life. Bacteria are very diverse, ranging from disease-causing pathogens to beneficial photosynthesizers and symbionts. Archaea are also diverse, but none are pathogenic and many live in extreme environments.
Detailed explanation-3: -All of life can be divided into three domains, based on the type of cell of the organism: Bacteria: cells do not contain a nucleus. Archaea: cells do not contain a nucleus; they have a different cell wall from bacteria. Eukarya: cells do contain a nucleus.
