Yes there is a difference.
Viruses are non-living and cells are living
This is because Viruses can't reproduce on their own without a host.
They don't have a metabolism like cells.
They can't maintain homeostasis.
They cannot synthesize proteins (they lack the ribosomes to do so) without a host.
Without a host viruses can neither generate nor store ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Viruses cannot live unless they have a host.

Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
The main difference is that viruses rely on a host cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material, while cells have their own machinery to replicate their DNA. Viruses insert their genetic material into a host cell and hijack its replication machinery, whereas cells replicate their DNA through processes like DNA polymerase and cellular organelles.
Viruses are replication parasites that can do nothing until they take over a living cell. Bacteria are living cells.
Only Bacteria can reproduce outside of a host.. Bacteria are made of cells
viruses dont have cells
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Yes, both viruses and cells have DNA.
No, tissues are made up of cells and viruses are not even cells.
Yes, viruses are smaller than eukaryotic cells.
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
