Archaebacteria differ from eubacteria in
- cell membrane structure
- mode of nutrition
- cell shape
- mode of reproduction.
Answer
(1) cell membrane structure
Solution
Archaebacteria have a different cell wall and cell membrane structure from eubacteria; their membrane lipids are branched (ether-linked) chains.
∵ This special membrane structure helps them survive in extreme conditions (halophiles, thermoacidophiles, methanogens).
∴ They differ from eubacteria in cell membrane structure.
