Archaeabacteria Kingdom



basic facts about bacteria:
~     bacteria are prokaryotes
~    prokarytoes in general are smaller than eukaryotes
~    the 3 general shape of all bacteria are bacillus(rod shaped), coccus(spherical shaped), spirillum(spiral shaped)
~    bacteria reproduce asecusally in process called binary fission-where bacteria divides into 2 cells   
~    unicellular
~    only a small percent of bacteria cause diseases, a lost of bacteria help us digest our food
~    some bacteria move with the use of flagella or cilia, others do not move at all
 

about archaeabacteria:
~    more ancient than eubacteria
~    more closely related to eukaryotes
~    some are autotroups and some are heterotophs    
~    live in extreme environments ( hot springs, salty lakes, thermal vents... )
~    do NOT have peptidoglycan in cell walls
