 SECTION 3: LONG QUESTIONS Question 1: Compare and contrast the domains Archaea and Bacteria and discuss how these differences reflect their evolutionary histories. Ans: Comparison of Archaea and Bacteria - Cell Membrane Structure: Archaea have ether-linked lipids, while Bacteria have ester-linked lipids. This difference affects the stability and function of their cell membranes. - Cell Wall Composition: Bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, while Archaea have varied cell wall compositions, such as pseudopeptidoglycan or polysaccharides. This difference impacts their resistance to environmental stresses. - Metabolism: Archaea often live in extreme environments, such as hot springs or salt lakes, and have unique metabolic processes adapted to these conditions. Bacteria, on the other hand, are more diverse in their metabolic processes and can be found in a wide range of environments. Evolutionary Histories  The differences between Archaea and Bacteria reflect their di...
