Question

multiple choice question which of the following makes bacteria and archaea different from eukaryotes? o they have phospholipids in their cell membrane. o they possess a cell wall. o they lack chromosomes. o they lack a nucleus.

Explanation:

Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes. A key difference between prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes is that prokaryotes lack a nucleus. Eukaryotes have a membrane - bound nucleus to house their genetic material, while prokaryotes do not. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have phospholipids in their cell membranes. Some bacteria and archaea have cell walls, and they both have chromosomes.

They lack a nucleus.
