Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archaeobacteria, also known as extremophiles, are able to thrive in extreme environments such as high temperatures and very high salt concentrations. Eubacteria and cyanobacteria can also be found in extreme environments, but they are not specifically adapted to survive in these conditions like archaeobacteria are. Prokaryotae is not a recognized taxonomic group.
