Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria and archaea are different in
A
size
B
weather they have a nucleus
C
the makeup of their cell wall
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell wall in arechea is made up of Pseudopeptidoglycan, whereas in bacteria, it is made up of either Lipopolysaccharide or Peptidoglycan.

Detailed explanation-2: -The composition of the cell wall differs significantly between the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Bacterial cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan, a complex of protein and sugars, while archaeal cell walls are composed of polysaccharides (sugars).

Detailed explanation-3: -Similar to bacteria, archaea do not have interior membranes but both have a cell wall and use flagella to swim. Archaea differ in the fact that their cell wall does not contain peptidoglycan and cell membrane uses ether linked lipids as opposed to ester linked lipids in bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell membrane in bacteria is a lipid bilayer; in archaea, it can be a lipid bilayer or a monolayer. Bacteria contain fatty acids on the cell membrane, whereas archaea contain phytanyl.

Detailed explanation-5: -Archaea builds the same structures as other organisms, but they build them from different chemical components. For instance, the cell walls of all bacteria contain the chemical peptidoglycan. Archaeal cell walls do not contain this compound, though some species contain a similar one.
