The kingdom protozoa is the scientifically correct name for referring to all protists. However, the kingdom protozoa has a wide variety of different phyla, (groupings of organisms) and they are not all the same. Some may have a cell membrane, such as the amoeba. Others, like the paramecium or euglena, have a stiff but bendable outer coating called a pellicule, made of protein. It would not be correct to say that all protists have a cell membrane, but many of them have one, or a similar structure that protects the cell.

How can bacteria and protists be distinguished from one another?

Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, meaning they lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, whereas protists are eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Additionally, protists are typically larger and more complex in structure compared to bacteria. Bacteria also have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, while protists may have various types of cell walls or lack them altogether.


What does protists are eukaryotes mean?

It means that protists are organisms that have a cell or cells with a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This distinguishes them from prokaryotes, which lack a nucleus and other organelles. Eukaryotic organisms also include animals, plants, and fungi.


Protists are eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

Eukaryotic, they have an enclosed nucleus and membrane bound organelles. They are generally single cellular. However, it is important to know that when they form multicellular colonies the cells do not specialize as in other eukaryotes.
