Flagella
Archaea flagella evolved from bacterial type IV pili while bacterial flagella
evolved from type III secretion system. Bacterial flagellum is like a stalk which is
hollow and is assembled by subunits that are free to move up the central pore
adding on to tip of flagella while in archaea flagella subunits are added on to the
base.
Habitat
Archaea can survive in extreme and harsh environments like hot springs, salt
lakes, marshlands, oceans, gut of ruminants and humans. Eubacteria are
ubiquitous and are found in soil, hot springs, radioactive waste water, Earth's
crust, organic matter, bodies of plants and animals etc.
