Differbetween
The primary difference between them is their cellular organization. Bacteria are single-celled microbes and are prokaryotes, which means they're single-celled organisms lacking specialized organelles. ... In contrast, protists are mostly single-celled eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, fungi, or animals.

What is the main difference between protists and bacteria?
Protists have a highly evolved and well defined cell structure in comparison to Bacteria. Protists are only found in moist surroundings, while bacteria are found everywhere. Bacteria are single celled while protists can be single celled or multicellular.
What is the main difference between protists and bacteria quizlet?
the major difference is that protists are eukaryotes while bacteria and archea are both prokaryotes. this means that prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, and contain circular DNA.
What do protists have that bacteria does not?
A protist is a one- or many-celled organism that lives in moist or wet surroundings. Unlike bacteria, protists' cells are eukaryotic. These organisms have a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound structures in their cytoplasm.
What is the difference between Protista and eubacteria?
Protists are unicellular eukaryotes, whereas Eubacteria and Archaebacteria are unicellular prokaryotes. ... Protists have eukaryotic cell structure and are unicellular. Protists either lack cell wall or have cell wall made up of cellulose. Eukaryotes have cell wall made up of peptidoglycan or murein.
What are 3 characteristics of protists?
Characteristics of Protists
- They are eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus.
- Most have mitochondria.
- They can be parasites.
- They all prefer aquatic or moist environments.
What do viruses protists and bacteria have in common?
Both bacteria and protists have cell membranes made of chemicals called phospholipids. ... While viruses cannot replicate without a host cell, many reproduce very fast after infection. Prokaryotes and Protists both replicate without invasion, so they can spread quickly and efficiently.
Do protists eat bacteria?
Some of the fungus-like protists, such as the slime molds (Figure below), decompose decaying matter. The animal-like protists must "eat" or ingest food. Some animal-like protists use their "tails" to eat. ... The protist wraps around its prey, which is usually bacteria.
Can protists cause disease?
Most protist diseases in humans are caused by protozoa. Protozoa make humans sick when they become human parasites. Trypanosoma protozoa cause Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. Giardia protozoa cause giardiasis, and Plasmodium protozoa cause malaria.
Is protist a prokaryote?
Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, while all other living organisms — protists, plants, animals and fungi — are eukaryotes.
Why is Protista no longer a kingdom?
Explain why the kingdom Protista is no longer considered a legitimate taxonomic group. Protista polyphyletic: some protists are more closely related to plants, fungi or animals than they are to other protists; it was too diverse, so it no longer a single kingdom.
How do you identify protists?
Characteristics of Protists
- They are eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus.
- Most have mitochondria.
- They can be parasites.
- They all prefer aquatic or moist environments.
What is one difference between you and a protist?
In short, human cells are usually highly specialized based on function and tissue type while protist cells are, while also eukaryotic, still simple.
