Bacteria belong to the domain Prokaryota (also known as Prokaryotes). This domain includes all prokaryotic organisms, which are characterized by their lack of a membrane-bound nucleus. Bacteria are distinct from Archaea, which is another domain of prokaryotic organisms, while Eukaryota includes organisms with complex cells that have a nucleus. Protista is a kingdom within the domain Eukaryota.
