Able to reproduce asexually by cell division
Unable to reproduce on its own, so they invade a host cell.
Genetic material can be transferred between cells
Unable to carry out any usual activities of a living organism
Living organism
Non living organism
Some bacteria can be beneficial to the human body
No viruses are beneficial to the body
Unicellular (one)
No cells as it is not living
Most bacteria can grow on non-living surfaces.
viruses must have a living host to multiply,
Can be treated by antibiotics
Can't be treated by antibiotics but vaccines can prevent the spread and antiviral medications help to slow reproduction but can not stop it completely.

Is Ebola a bacteria fungus or bacteriaor virus?
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
four difference between virus and bacteria?
Viruses are (debatably) not alive while bacteria are; meaning they are smaller and require a living host to survive. Bacteria are killed with antibiotics, but viruses are not.
What is connecting link between virus and bacteria?
The mimivirus
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage
Is conjuctivitis caused by bacteria virus or fungi?
Bacteria and virus
What is the difference between a pathogenic bacteria and a virus?
A pathogenic bacterium is alive while a virus is not.
What is a difference between bacteria and virus that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)

Which is a difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not-?
A bacteria is a unicellular microorganism while a virus is a submicroscopic particle.
What is the difference between viral and a bacteria infection?
As simple as that a viral infection is caused by a virus and a bacterial infection is caused by a bacteria.

What is the difference between viral and bacterial encephalitis?
The only difference between viral and bacterial encephalitis is what causes it. They are exactly the same condition except one is started via a virus and one is started by a bacteria.
What is connecting link between virus and bacteria?
The mimivirus
What is the structural difference between a virus or bacteria?
Bacteria are living cells -- cell membrane and all that cell stuff. A virus doesn't own it's own cell; it invades a cell and takes over, using the host cell to make more viruses.
