Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All living things can be classified into three main groups called domains; these include the Archaea, the Bacteria, and the Eukarya.

Prokaryotes arose during the Precambrian Period 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago.

Prokaryotic organisms can live in every type of environment on Earth, from very hot, to very cold, to super haline, to very acidic.

The domains Bacteria and Archaea are the ones containing prokaryotic organisms.

The Archaea are prokaryotes that inhabit extreme environments, such as inside of volcanoes, while Bacteria are more common organisms, such as E. coli.

prokaryote: an organism whose cell (or cells) are characterized by the absence of a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles

domain: in the three-domain system, the highest rank in the classification of organisms, above kingdom: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya

archaea: a taxonomic domain of single-celled organisms lacking nuclei, formerly called archaebacteria, but now known to differ fundamentally from bacteria

a protein in a microbe’s membrane helps it survive extreme environments

Within harsh environments like hot springs, volcanic craters and deep-sea hydrothermal vents – uninhabitable by most life forms – microscopic organisms are thriving. How? It’s all in how they wrap themselves.

hope this helps i know its long lol
