Prokaryotes cells are the simplest of all the cells. Bacteria are prokaryotes
and they fall into two major categories: The
Kingdom Eubacteria and the Kingdom Archaebacteria.
Eubacteria are common types that occur all around us, usually they
are on surfaces and in the soil. You can only find Archaebacteria
in extreme enviionments,
like hot sulfur springs.
Archaebacteria
are thought to be some of the oldest life forms on earth. IVost bacteria don,t make their own food. That
means they have to rely on other organisms to provide
them with food. These bacterL have to break down, or decompose,
other living things to obtain energv,
when most people
hear i": ,', ;'c ba::eria, they think of something that is bad for you. ln fact, very few bacteria cause
