What’s the difference?
Bacteria and viruses can cause many common infections. But what are the differences between these two kinds of infectious organisms?
Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that are made up of a single cell. They’re very diverse and can have a large variety of shapes and structural features.
Bacteria can live in almost every conceivable environment, including in or on the human body.
Only a handful of bacteria cause infections in humans. These bacteria are referred to as pathogenic bacteria.
Viruses are another type of tiny microorganism, although they’re even smaller than bacteria. Like bacteria, they’re very diverse and have a variety of shapes and features.
Viruses are parasitic. That means they require living cells or tissue in which to grow.
Viruses can invade the cells of your body, using the components of your cells to grow and multiply. Some viruses even kill host cells as part of their life cycle.
Explanation:
bacteria are single celled living organism they have a cell wall and all the components to survive.
virus are not considered to be living because they required a host cell to survive long term for energy and to reproduce .
