Viruses are tinier: the largest of them are smaller than the smallest bacteria. All they have is a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells.

Viruse - They are one of the smallest microorganism . THey are so small that they cannot be seen even through an ordinary compound microscope . Viruses don't posses a cellular structure like other living organisms and are considered between living and non-living organisms . They remain in an inactive state when outside the host body . This means that they are not capable of growing , moving ,or reproducing . However, as soon as they enter a living organism, they become active and derive the energy of the host cells to divide themselves , grow rapidly and reproduce inside the body of the living organism, resulting in various diseases .
Bacteria - bacteria are the smallest ,the old days and the simplest known unicellular organisms on our planet . Although bacteria are mostly single- celled but they can live in groups called colonies . They can be found almost everywhere such as air, water and even in food. some bacteria are useful why some can be very harmful. harmful bacteria on entering your body through air or water causes diseases like Cholera and typhoid . bacteria can be found in different shapes such as bacilli , cocci and comma - shaped .
