Archea

Example 2)

Example 1)
Archea is the Latin word for a group of prokaryotic cells. They used to be called Archeabacteria and were thought of as bacteria but since they have different biochemistry, now they are separated from the Monera kingdom. They are uni-cellular organisms. These tiny critters are decomposers because they have mitochondria in their cell, which means they have to consume or in this case decompose.
Examples:


1) Methanogen is the Latin word for methane. They produce natural gas. They die if they are exposed to oxygen. They live in the cows’ stomach and help digest food. They also live in muddy swamps.



2) Thermophiles live in extremely hot or cold temperatures. They can be found in geysers, very salty lakes, or ponds. They also can be buried deep underground and still survive. They are a prokaryotic cell.
