No, protists are eukaryotic organisms and have cells with nuclei. The nucleus in protists contains their genetic material and helps regulate cellular functions.
The two terms are contradictory. Prokaryotic means no true nucleus, which means that no prokaryote (no exception) has a true nucleus. Having said that, all protists are eukaryotic and possesses a nucleus.
Protists have nucleus and double membranous organells.Bacteria do not have them.
Protists are placed in the kingdom Protista because they are Eukaryotic organisms with more complex internal structures like a nucleus and organelles. Monerans, on the other hand, are placed in the kingdom Monera because they are prokaryotic, lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This fundamental difference in their cellular structure is why they are placed in separate kingdoms.
Yes, most protist cells have a nucleus. This nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. There are some exceptions, such as red algae, which have a nucleomorph instead of a traditional nucleus.
