Bacteria metabolize ingested nutrients.
Viruses do not do this.
Bacteria reproduce by fusion.
A virus needs a host to reproduce.
Bacteria exchange gases with the environment.
A virus does do this. A bacteria is motile in many cases. Flagella.
Viruses must depend on the current in solution.
As you see viruses do not have any of the markers of living organisms, but some biologists do not fully agree that viruses are not a sort of living organism.
Bacteria are cellular while viruses are non cellular .
The difference is that viruses are smaller than bacteria. One more major difference is that bacteria are living things whereas viruses are non living things.
Bateria are made of cells APEX~:)

Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
Only Bacteria can reproduce outside of a host.. Bacteria are made of cells
A bacteria is a unicellular microorganism while a virus is a submicroscopic particle.
-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
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.

Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
Viruses are replication parasites that can do nothing until they take over a living cell. Bacteria are living cells.
