prostists are like bacteria because they are single celled and they are microscopic because they are very tiny to be seen.

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).


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 bacteria?

No. Protists have nuclear membranes in their cells whereas bacteria do not.The kingdom Protists include bacteria. This kingdom includes other organisms besides bacteria. Just as we belong to the animal group.


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.


What structure surrounds bacteria that is not in protists?

Bacteria are surrounded by a rigid cell wall, which is primarily composed of peptidoglycan, a structure not found in protists. While some protists have cell walls made of different materials like cellulose or silica, the peptidoglycan structure is unique to bacteria. Additionally, bacteria may possess a capsule that provides extra protection, which is also not typically present in protists.


How do protists differ from bacteria and archaea?

Protists and bacteria are two completely different kingdoms of life. Protists are eukaryotic, meaning that their DNA is stored in chromosomes within a nucleus. Bacteria are prokaryotic, and do not have nuclei. Also, protists are sort of like the miscellaneous category. There are plantlike cells (such as diatoms) and animal-like cells (such as ameoba). Bacteria and protists also have different shapes to their cells and different organelles.


Is alge bacteria?

No they are protists.


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 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.


What protists eat harmful bacteria and keep them under control?

Scary protists


What characteristics distinguish protists from bacteria?

Protists have nucleus and double membranous organells.Bacteria do not have them.


Is giardia a bacteria virus protists or fungi?

Giardia is a flagellated protozoan. These types of organisms also cause diseases like bacteria. They are eukaryotes instead of prokaryotes like bacteria. This means that they are larger and have organelles. Bacteria are the opposite.
