The monerans are distinct from eukaryotic organisms because of the structure and chemistry of their cells. As prokaryotes, they lack the definite nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (specialized cellular parts) of eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monera and Protista contain the two least organized organisms on earth. Monera consists of unicellular prokaryotes. Protista consist of both unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes. Archaebacteria, cyanobacteria and eubacteria are the three types of monerans.
