Answer: Archaebacteria can survive in extreme environments similar to those on other planets and are good indicators of how extra-terrestrial life would function.

Explanation: Archaebacteria resemble the earliest cells found on Earth and are extremophiles who can live in hot, acidic environments without oxygen (anaerobic).
