    Answer (D)

    Organisms known as archaea (archaebacteria) belong to the Domain ... (helical) shape distinguishes this group of heterotrophic bacteria.

    Photolithotrophs (photosynthetic autotrophs) include a variety of the bacteria but no known Archaea.

    Nitrogen fixing bacteria have different strategies to reduce oxygen levels, which interfere with nitrogenase function.

    Archaea carry out many steps in the nitrogen cycle.

    Many prokaryotes, Bacteria as well as Archaea, obtain their energy from the oxidation of reduced inorganic compounds such as hydrogen, ammonia, nitrite, sulfide, elemental sulfur, hydrogen and Fe(II) ions

    Chemolithotrophy is widespread in the two domains of prokaryotes: the Bacteria and the Archaea.

    kingdom Archaea members of archeae stay in extreme situations they ha no peptidoglycan in cellular wall. they're resistant in the direction of antibiotics to which micro organism exhibits sensitivity. Kingdon micro organism got here across everywhere cellular wall has peptidoglycan. comfortable in the direction of antibiotics
