Bacteria and protists are unicellular organisms. The difference lies in the type of cells they have. Bacteria are placed in the kingdom Monera and have a prokaryotic cell, whereas protists are placed in the kingdom Protista and have a eukaryotic cell.
Protists and bacteria differ mostly in their cellular structure. Prokaryotes are creatures that lack a nuclear membrane around their genetic material (DNA), such as bacteria. On the other hand, protists are eukaryotic (genetic material enclosed by a nuclear membrane).
Explanation:
Protists and bacteria are both often found to be single-celled creatures, yet they are extremely different from one another in almost every other way. Protists are creatures that belong to the Eucarya domain, like humans, and have internal compartments, a cytoskeleton, and many RNA polymerases in their cells. The size of eucaryal cells ranges from 10 to 100 microns (millionths of a meter). There are two types of bacteria: Eubacteria and Archaea, which are almost as unlike from one another as they are from Eucarya. Bacterial cells generally have a diameter of 0.5 to 5 microns. The simplest way to distinguish between them is based on size and whether or not they have nuclei; protists have one (or more), whereas bacteria don't. Finding their gene sequences—in particular, the sequences for ribosomal RNA, which is the most reliable method to categorize organisms—is a more accurate technique to separate them.
Thanks for the news. We'll look forward with great anticipation to any reports of the results of that experiment. Then, if the findings raise any questions in your mind that you'd like to discuss, we'll certainly help you work on them.
