Answer:

Bactera and Archaea

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotes are divided into two different kingdoms; Bacteria and Archaea. The major comparison between them is:

  • Cell wall of bacteria is made up of peptidoglycans, while that of archaea is composed of pseudomureins.
  • Bacteria have one rRNA while archaea have three rRNA.
  • Growth of bacteria can be inhibited by antibiotics while that of archaea can't be inhibited by antibiotics.
  • Bacteria can't survive at extreme high temperature above 100 degree Celsius, while archaea can survive in both extreme physical and geological conditions.
