Step 1
**Unicellular**: This means it is a single-celled organism. This characteristic applies to bacteria, archaea, and some eukaryotes (like yeast). 2. **No cell wall**: This is a crucial distinguishing feature. Most bacteria have cell walls (peptidoglycan). Archaea Show more…

You discover a new organism, which is unicellular, has DNA, and a cell wall including peptidoglycan. Using microscopy, you also see that this organism has a flagellum, a capsule, and fimbria. a. What type of microbe do you think this is (bacterium, archaeon, or eukaryote) and what makes you think that? b. What essential cell parts are missing that you would expect this organism to have? c. What activities do you think this organism would have based on its non-essential cell parts? Where do you think you might find it? What supports your answer? This question has more than one "correct" answer!

You discover a new life form, and study it under an electron microscope. You find that it has no organelles, a peptidoglycan cell wall, and fatty acids in its plasma membrane. You conclude that the new life form is in domain a) Archaea. b) Bacteria. c) Animalia. d) Protista. e) Eukarya.

You have discovered a new coccoid-shaped microorganism in a boiling hot spring. It has no nucleus, a rigid cell wall, and a diameter of 2 µm. Chemical tests reveal that its cell wall does NOT contain peptidoglycan. The new microorganism is most likely in the domain: Prokarya Eukarya Bacteria Archaea It is a prion It is a virus
