What is the difference between bactieria and protists?

Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms that lack a nucleus, while protists are eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists are more complex and diverse in structure and function compared to bacteria. Bacteria are typically smaller in size and have simpler cellular structures.


Are protist biger than bacteria?

Yes, protists are generally larger than bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms, while protists can vary in size from microscopic single-celled organisms to larger multicellular organisms.


What organism is smaller than a pin?

Nanoplankton (and maybe some of the other plankton species but im not sure about them)


Compare and contrast bacteria and protists?

Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria are generally unicellular, while protists can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists have more complex cellular structures and are typically larger in size compared to bacteria. Additionally, protists exhibit more diverse modes of nutrition and reproduction compared to bacteria.


Differences between bacteria and protists?

Bacteria are prokaryotic while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria DNA is not contained within a nucleus, and it is circular, whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is found in compact chromosomes. Prokaryotes (like bacteria) also lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Also, prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Protists are divided into three groups: protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime moulds (fungi-like protists). They do not fit into the kingdoms animalia, plantae, or fungi, but they are eukaryotic (like the members of those kingdoms).

How do protists and bacteria compare in size?

Protists tend to be larger than bacteria. Some protists, like amoebas or paramecia, are visible to the naked eye. Bacteria, on the other hand, are typically much smaller and can only be seen under a microscope.


Why are protists considered advanced?

There are many ways in which protists are more advanced than bacteria. Protists possess a nucleus. Protists can also be unicellular or multicellular while bacteria is only unicellular.

Are protists more closely related to animals or to bacteria?

Protists are different from any other organisms found in the animal or bacteria kingdom. For this reason, they are seen as heterotrophic or autotrophic by biologists and botanists.


Protists are less or more complex than bacteria?

Are viruses smaller or bigger than bacteria?

there are some bacteria that approach the size of larger viruses but, viruses are smaller than bacteria


Are prokaryote cells smaller than eukaryote cells?

Usually, prokaryotes are about 10X smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes include plant, animals, protists, and fungi. The only kind of prokaryotes on Earth are bacteria. Bacteria have no nuclei; their DNA are scattered in their cytoplasm. Eurkaryotes have specifically defined nuclei, containing all the chromosomes of DNA.


Is virus are much smaller then bacteria?

Yes, viruses are smaller than bacteria.
