Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the classification of matter in this context refers to the biological classification of life forms, not the states of matter or other scientific classifications.

Recognize that the three domains of life are a fundamental concept in biology, which classifies all living organisms into three broad categories based on genetic and cellular differences.

The three domains are: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. These domains are distinguished by differences in their ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, cell membrane lipid structure, and other molecular features.

Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that have a simple cell structure without a nucleus. They are found in various environments and play essential roles in ecosystems.

Archaea are similar to bacteria in that they are also single-celled and lack a nucleus, but they have distinct biochemistry and genetic sequences. Eukarya includes all organisms with complex cells that have a nucleus, such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
