Step-by-step explanation:

Archebacteria are a classification and group of microorganisms that are unicellular and they prokaryotic in nature which means have no well defined nucleus.

Archebacteria have also been referred to as extremophiles which means that they can survive and thrive in extreme environmental conditions such as highly acidic and alkaline environment. They can also survive under very cold or hot temperatures.

They can also survive without oxygen and sunlight for as long as they require.
