In many ways. First, and most obviously, bacteria are unicellular and therefore microscopic, while humans are multicellular and very much visible to the naked eye.
Bacteria belong to the kingdoms Archaebacteria or Eubacteria, while humans are in Animalia. Bacteria are prokaryotes, while human cells are eukaryotes, which accounts for many of the structural differences.
Human cells (and all animal cells) lack cell walls, rigid structures that cover cell membranes that some bacteria do have, and all plant cells have.
Human cells, being animal cells, have centrioles, a structure used in cell division that are not present in prokaryotes (such as bacteria).
Also, some bacteria are able to use endospores, envelope-like structures that aid in survival when environmental conditions are less than ideal.
Another interesting difference is that bacterial DNA is a single, circular chromosome, while humans have 46 linear (X shaped, except males have one Y shaped sex chromosome)

Why do humans need soil bacteria?
Vegetation is grown with this and we need Plants for many different things.
What are heat resistant structures in bacteria?
Bacteria form heat-resistant structures called endosporeswhen under some sort of stress.
What are three properties an antibiotic should have?
It has few or no side effects in humans. it kills different types of harmful bacteria. It doesn't kill good bacteria.
What are the differences between bacteria and humans?
There are many differences * Bacteria are microscopic while human is not. * Bacteria are prokaryotes. Human is eukaryote. * Bacteria has a cell wall. * Bacteria are the earliest known organisms on earth.

What frog structures are different then humans?
the legs and skin
Why are many different structures needed by the digestive system?
The digestive system is made up of many structures. Humans need different structures to process the varieties of foods we eat on a daily basis.
Is bacteria inside a person's body an organism of the same species?
No, bacteria are separate organisms from the body, and there are many different species of bacteria living in humans.
How does bacteria benefit humans?
Bacteria are important in the formation of certain foods. They are also used in mining and bioremediation (using bacteria to clean up the environment). In addition, bacteria that colonize different places in your body out compete other bacteria that may be harmful.
How does bacteria affect human health?
Some bacteria are beneficial to humans, and some bacteria are harmful to humans.
Why do humans need soil bacteria?
Vegetation is grown with this and we need Plants for many different things.
What are heat resistant structures in bacteria?
Bacteria form heat-resistant structures called endosporeswhen under some sort of stress.
These statements about bacteria and humans is false?
Humans should try to be bacteria free.
Is intestinal bacteria harmful?
There are some bacteria that can cause intestinal disease. All humans have bacteria in their intestine but the bacteria is a good thing. One of the most prevalent bacteria in the human GI tract is E. coli. There are different strains of E. coli and not all of them are pathogenic. The bacteria inside the human GI tract is "normal Flora" and is beneficial to humans.
What are three properties an antibiotic should have?
It has few or no side effects in humans. it kills different types of harmful bacteria. It doesn't kill good bacteria.
