1. **Bacteria**: Single-celled prokaryotic organisms characterized by their simple cell structure without a nucleus, and they can be found in various environments, playing crucial roles in processes such as decomposition and nitrogen fixation.
2. **Archaea**: Also single-celled prokaryotes, Archaea are distinct from bacteria due to their unique biochemistry and genetics, often thriving in extreme environments like hot springs and salt lakes, and they share some similarities with eukaryotes in their molecular machinery.
3. **Eukarya**: This domain includes all eukaryotic organisms, which have complex cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; it encompasses a diverse range of life forms, including animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
