Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukarya has the least diversity in terms of metabolism when compared to Archaea, Bacteria, and the other domains listed. This is because Eukarya includes organisms such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists, which, despite their diversity, do not exhibit the wide range of metabolic capabilities found in Archaea and Bacteria, such as extremophiles that can survive in environments previously thought to be uninhabitable. Monera and Prokarya are terms that have been used historically to refer to bacterial life forms, but in the context of this question, they are not as specific as the other options.
