Differences between Archaea And Bacteria

Archaea

1) Ether-linked lipids, pseudo-peptidoglycan

2) Circular chromosomes, similar translation and translation to Eucarya

3) Various, with methanogenesis unique to Archaea

4) Asexual

5) Have three RNA polymerases

6) Extreme and harsh environments like hot springs, oceans 

Bacteria

1) Ester linked lipids Peptidoglycan

2) Circular chromosomes, Unique translation and transcription

3) Various, including photosynthesis, aerobie and anaerobic respiration, fermentation and autotrophy 

4) Asexual

5) Have only one RNA polymerase 

6) Ubiquitous, soil, Earth’s crust, debris
