The Linnaean Classification system has nine major components to it where organisms can be sorted. The largest and most general groups are the three domains, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Then Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species follow after. As the list goes down, each section becomes more and more specific, …show more content…
The first being the unique ribosomes those within the Archaea domain. Usually a ribosome is a place where proteins are assembled. The ribosome is incredibly sensitive in Bacteria to chemical inhibiting agents, but in Archaea, there is no known sensitivity to these agents, causing a variation within the function of the ribosome. Another key difference between the two domains is the placement of the flagella. This translates to a drastic change in the shape of the flagella. In Bacteria, the flagella is a hollow rod that is composed of smaller units that were free to move up and down the rod. In Archaea the flagella is a rod with smaller units that attach onto the base as they are …show more content…
The most obvious being how basic bacteria are. These prokaryotes are incredibly simple, there are no internal organelles that operate the bacteria however in the place of these missing organelles, and the bacteria can use enzymes that function differently, but end up achieving the same results. The DNA of a bacteria is a solitary loop, compared to the well-known double helix of most eukaryotes. The structure of bacteria also vary from the domain Archaea, for example, the cell walls of bacteria are not rigid, and their membranes remain semi-permeable to allow for the exchange of nutrients within the bacteria’s environment. Essentially, bacteria all fit into this general description, making them more biochemically diverse, not as morphologically diverse than their
