Brief Explanations
Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes. They have diverse metabolic pathways (e.g., photosynthesis in some bacteria, chemosynthesis in archaea). They can survive in extreme environments (hot springs, deep - sea vents, highly acidic or alkaline conditions). Their small size and rapid reproduction also contribute to their high diversity.
