Characteristics of Archaea Bacteria
- A characteristic of Archaea bacteria is that it is an obligate anaerobe. This means that it is an organism that lives and grows in the presence of molecular oxygen.
- A characteristic of Archaea bacteria is that it is known to be microscopic in size. This means it is so small, it can only visible with a microscope.
- A characteristic of Archaea bacteria is that it is Prokaryotic. This means that it is an organism that d0es not have a true nucleus.
- A characteristic of Archaea bacteria is that it contains a cell wall but it does not have peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a substance forming the cell walls of many bacteria, consisting of glycosaminoglycan chains interlinked with short peptides.
- A characteristic of Archaea bacteria is that it's DNA is unique because of it's specific coding.
- A characteristic of Archaea bacteria is that it exists in only the most extreme environments. Look below to see where it can be found!

Fun Facts!
Archaea comes from the Greek word meaning “ancient.” This is an appropriate name because many archaea thrive in conditions mimicking those found more than 3.5 billion years ago. Some scientists consider archaea living fossils that may provide hints about what the earliest life forms on Earth were like, and how life evolved on our planet.
