Including extreme habitats too hostile for most organisms (not for eukaryotes) Remarkable diversity, dominant domains of life on earth. Appear simple in structure compared to eukaryotic cells. Have the greatest metabolic diversity of all organism. Classified into 2 domains that differ in structure, physiology, and biochemistry: bacteria, archaea. Share some cellular features with bacteria, some with eukaryotes, and some unique. Difficulty in how we normally classify them in physiology bc they don"t fit in. Many live in very extreme conditions that no other organism can survive.
