Archaea - Definition, Structure, Types & Extremophile Habitats

SOLVED:Archaea are microorganisms that can survive in extreme environments, such as high temperature, low pH, or high salt concentrations. It is observed that the cell membrane phospholipids in these organisms (see Structure I below) are markedly different from those in eukaryotic cell membranes. What differences are present and what function might they serve?
