by organic & by inorganic compounds (*chemosynthesis*)

how do prokaryotes obtain building block molecules: compounds w/ C-C bonds -
Answer- *autotrophs* (make their own food/energy) OR *heterotrophs* (get their energy
from other sources)

differences between bacteria and archaea: DNA packaging - Answer- - both found in
nucleoids (no membrane)
- bacteria: DNA is *supercoiled*
- archaea: supercoiling as well as proteins called *histones* that help wind the DNA
