As for lipid rafts, these are also a eukaryotic feature and are not typically found in archaea.

Instead of cholesterol, archaea have isoprenoid lipids, which help maintain membrane integrity and fluidity.

Unlike eukaryotic cells, archaea do not contain cholesterol. Cholesterol is a key component of eukaryotic cell membranes, but archaea have a different type of membrane lipid structure.
