Importance/benefits
The ecosystem is more stable and resilient to stress.
When there is high biodiversity
What are the 5 characteristics of living things

How do archaebacteria reproduce?
What unit of measurement do we use for viruses (usually).
Nanometers (nm), (10-9 meters)
Aerobic bacteria can, or must live with/without_________

Uses living organisms to decontaminate an area. Eubacteria AND archaebacteria
They are not considered living organisms. They do not fit the 5 characteristics of living things (GRACE).
What are some pros and cons about binary fission?
Pros:simple, fast, only need one
Cons: no genetic diversity, identical cells
Which kingdom(s) have a single chromosome to store their genetic information?
Eubacteria and archaebacteria
What is the difference between a living organism being eukaryotic and prokaryotic?
If they have organelles or not->example nucleus
How can Bacteriophage be beneficial to humans?

Which kingdom is known to be "the primitive ones" and why?

Eubacteria (kingdom) belongs to what domain?
Bacteria
Domain, kingdom, phylum,class,order,family,genus,species
What could be a negative (and also positive) impact archaebacteria have on the environment?
Methanogens: produce methane-> greenhouse gas, or used as an energy source
(Could find more answers)
Can live with no oxygen but prefers oxygen.
Similar but not truly sexual reproduction. It gives the same type of fitness advantage as sexual reproduction, the passing of new DNA (from the plasmid). It requires two cells to complete.
