Archaea and bacteria are similar in that their cells are small and lack a nucleus.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>
  • Living organisms can either be classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes.
<h3>Eukaryotes  </h3>
  • These are organisms that contain membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, etc.
<h3>Prokaryotes  </h3>
  • These are organisms that lack nucleus membrane and a nucleus together with membrane bound organelles. They include lower organisms such as bacteria and Archaea.
  • Archaea and bacteria are examples of prokaryotes since they lack nucleus and other membrane bound organelles such as mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
<h3>Similarities between Archaea and Bacteria </h3>
  • Both are prokaryotic organisms  
  • They have ribosomes which is the site for protein synthesis  
  • Both lack membrane-bound cellular organelles such as mitochondrion.
  • Both archaea and bacteria have flagella
<h3>Differences between Archaea and Bacteria </h3>
  • Archaea cell wall contains  while the cell wall of bacteria contains peptidoglycan
  • Bacteria can form spores which remain dormant for years until they get a suitable habitat for them to grow, while Archaea do not.
  • Archaea live in extreme and harsh environments such as salt lakes, oceans,etc. while bacteria are in areas such as in the soil, organic matter, etc.

Answer:

The correct answer would be b. Their cells are small and lack a nucleus.

Both archaea and bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that is, they both are devoid of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplast et cetera.

They also share a similarity in terms of shape and size of the cells. Both of them are unicellular in nature and can not be seen by naked eyes.

They show variations in their genetic and biochemical ways. For example, archae contains three RNA polymerases whereas bacteria contain a single RNA polymerase.

Their cell wall also show variation in composition. For example, a bacterial cell wall contains peptidoglycans, whereas archae cell wall does not.

Thus, we can say that archae and bacteria are similar in a manner that their cells are small and lack a nucleus.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Glaciers that once covered South Africa have melted and can no longer form.

Explanation:

The Karoo Supergroup that formed hundres of millions of year ago covered the most part of South Africa. The Tillite debris from melting glaciers, in Dwyka Tillite are located at the bottom layers of the Karoo Supergroup, which is an indication that millions of years ago, South Africa was under extensive glacier coverage formed during the movement of the continent past the South Pole

The eventual arrival of the continent to temperate regions away from the South Pole resulted in the melting of the glaciers from which a huge swamp was formed.

zimovet [89]
I believe if her hypothesis was incorrect the percentage of the large lobsters with large pincers would decrease. The large pincers help the lobsters to quickly catch their pray efficiently. This would mean the survival of the lobsters with large pincers. A wrong hypothesis would mean that the large pincer lobsters would die and decrease in number.

Primary succession occurs when a community develops ____________ while secondary succession occurs when one ________.
alexandr402 [8]

A. into a climax community; species replaces another

B. and replaces another; ecosystem becomes stable

C. on unoccupied ground; biological community replaces another

D. and then fails; niche changes

E. intraspecific competition; experiences interspecific competition

Answer:

C. on unoccupied ground; biological community replaces another

Explanation:

Primary succession  is a gradual change that occurs on bare rocks or areas that have no life existing on it before. It could take several years to be colonized by living things.  

On the other hand, secondary succession are changes that occur when one biological community replaces another as a result of factors such as wild fires, or take place in abandoned farm land. New species of organisms take over the area that has life existing on it already. Secondary succession occurs on areas or land that has been colonized initially before.
