Question

In terms of metabolic and genetic diversity, compare and contrast protists and bacteria.

Answer 1

Comparision of PROTISTS AND BACTERIA

PROTISTS	BACTERIA
These are small eukaryotic organisms	These are small prokaryotic organisms
Compartimentisation is observed	No compartimentisation is seen in bacteria
Nucelus with nuclear membrane is seen	No nucleus genome is sparsed in the cytoplasm
These are larger in size	These are minute ranges in nm
Few protists like cyanobacteria contains chloroplasts too	No organelles is seen in this
These are heterotrophs,photosynthetic and decomposers too	These are decomposers and heterotrophs only
They eat other small animals by moving with cilia and flagella	They generally depends on the substrate to make complex into simple by the enzyme degradation
Sexual reproduction is seen	Sexual reproduction is not seen only binary fission only occurs(Asexual)

Similarities between Protists and Bacteria

PROTISTS	BACTERIA
These are unicellular	These are also unicellualar
These are sensitive genome	These also have sensitive genome
This contains cilia, flagella for movement	These are having flagella,for movement
These are heterotrophi mode of nutrition	These are also same as protists
They eat entire cell as prey	They eat partially digested by extracellular release of enzymes.
