describe two ways in which protists differ from monerans.

Explanation:

1. Cellular Structure: Protists are eukaryotes (have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles), while Monerans (bacteria and archaea) are prokaryotes (lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles).
2. Complexity: Protists are generally more complex in structure and function. For example, some protists like Paramecium have specialized organelles for movement (cilia) and feeding, while Monerans have a simpler cellular organization.

Answer:

1. Protists are eukaryotic (have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles), Monerans are prokaryotic (lack a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles).
2. Protists are generally more structurally and functionally complex than Monerans.
