Respiration (for all living things). It can be oxidative or aerobic respiration (requiring oxygen and produces more energy) or anerobic respiration (no oxygen and produces less energy because it's less efficient).
Photosynthesis (only in autotrophic organisms so living things that don't need to consume nutrients because they can make their own).
genetic material composed of nucleic acid.
Growth and reproduction
There are no bacteria or viruses on mars.
Bacteria are cellular while viruses are non cellular .
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
Easy answer: Bacteria are alive and viruses probably are not.
no. a virus does not have enough characteristics of living things to be part of it. all it is, is a bunch of bacteria and enzymes created to eat bacteria and invade living cells.
Archaea,Bacteria,Prions and Viruses
Since viruses are not alive they can not have life processes.
There are no bacteria or viruses on mars.
Antibiotics disrupt bacterial cell processes that result in either killing the bacteria, preventing it from reproducing, or preventing it from causing symptoms in humans. For example: penicillin disrupts the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall in mostly gram positive bacteria. This prevents the growth of the target bacteria. Any gram negative bacteria will be unaffected by penicillin because they have a different process of synthesizing cell walls that is not disrupted by penicillin. Viruses don't even have a cell wall, they have a protein coat and sometimes an envelope. Neither of these are affected by penicillin. So antibiotics target specific processes that only occur in specific types of bacteria, so each antibiotic will only work on some bacteria and never on viruses. The virus version of antibiotics are called interferon, they disrupt processes that are specific to viruses.
Bacteria are cellular while viruses are non cellular .
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
Viruses are non-living entities that show characteristics of living beings inside another living cell. Viruses consist of genetic material surrounded by protein coat. They lack organelles or membranes. Thus, they are very much smaller than bacterial cells which have membranes, and sometimes even organelles. In fact, many viruses inhabit bacterial cells. They are called bacteriophages. The smallest bacteria are in the order of .3 micrometers, while the largest viruses are in the order of 400 nanometers. A virus is smaller than bacteria A virus is smaller than bacteria
no bacteria is larger than viruses
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
there are some bacteria that approach the size of larger viruses but, viruses are smaller than bacteria
