Protists and bacteria are grouped into different domains because

Protists are eukaryotic cells while bacteria are prokaryotic.

This is what i found on google “phytoplankton, tiny organisms that live in the ocean, are autotrophs. some types of bacteria are autotrophs. most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.” i hope this you for what your looking for
