NO bacteria don't decompose protists instead they both are kept in different domain because protists have membrane-bounded nucleus, which bacterial cells lack.

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.


Are protists smaller than bacteria?

Some protists are larger than bacteria, while others may be smaller. Protists are typically unicellular organisms but can also form colonies or be multicellular, whereas bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms. The size of protists and bacteria can vary greatly depending on the specific species.


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 archaebacteria and eubacteria both protists?

No, archaebacteria and eubacteria are not considered protists. They are both types of bacteria that are classified in different domains (Archaea and Bacteria), separate from the domain Eukarya where protists are found.


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).

Why are protists considered advanced?

Are protists and bacteria alike?

In one way, yes. Both bacteria and most protists are single-celled organisms. However, protists are more genetically and internally similar to animals and plants, because they have a cell nucleus, which bacteria do not have.

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.
