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).
