Why are archaeans more tolerant of extreme environmental conditions than bacteria?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: There are differences in their plasma membrane and cell wall. The chemical bond between
hydrocarbon chains and glycerol in the plasma membrane is more resistant to disruption.
The molecular components of peptidoglycan-related molecules in cells wall are different,
and some Archaean cell walls are assembled from proteins or polysaccharides that make
them highly resistant to disruption by extreme conditions.
