Answer:
The correct answer is B: "Archaeans are much more restricted in environment than organisms classified as either bacteria or eukarya".
Step-by-step explanation:
The archaea domain is composed of prokaryotic unicellular microorganisms that lack a nucleus, nuclear membrane, and organelles, but they have a cell wall that protects the cell. They reproduce asexually.
Phenotypically, Archaea looks like Bacteria, being small and rounded, caned or spiriled-shaped, but they possess biochemical and genetic characteristics very different from bacteria.
Archaea are likely a source of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. According to the endosymbiosis theory, these cells were free-living bacteria that were incorporated by another bigger cell, becoming the new organelle mitochondria. In the same way, Eukarya bacteria make a place for chloroplast.
These organisms are restricted to marginal habitats. They are capable of inhabiting in places with extreme temperature, salinity, acidity, or pH, among others.
