1) Archaea are cellular organisms that have unique cell membrane .

Answer: lipids
topic: archaea

Bloom's/accessibility: 1. Remember / keyboard navigation
asm topic: module 02 cell structure and function

Asm objective: 02.03 bacteria and archaea have specialized structures (e.g. flagella, endospores, and pili)
that often confer critical capabilities.

Learning outcome: 01.01c determine the type of microbe (e.g., bacterium, fungus, etc.) When given a
description of a newly discovered one

2) Extant Microorganisms Are Organisms From The Fossil Record That Are No Longer Present On
Earth Today.

Answer: FALSE
