The Earth Life Web, The Archaea Archaea are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Being prokaryotes they have no membrane-bound organelles within their cells as you and I do, this means no nucleus, no mitochondria, no chloroplasts, etc. Their DNA is normally a single molecule circular in shape whereas our DNA comes in linear form in several or many molecules. Their ribosomes are of the 70S type, ours are of the 80S type (except in mitochondria) and chloroplasts and plasmids are relatively common. Lastly, they have no microtubule cytoskeleton.
