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 single-celled organisms that can be seen under a microscope, while viruses are smaller and can only be seen using an electron microscope. Bacteria can reproduce on their own, while viruses need to infect a host cell to replicate. Additionally, antibiotics can treat bacterial infections, but not viral infections.


What is the difference between bacteria and viruses show that bacteria are living organism and viruses are not?

Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to "hijack" so they can reproduce. Bacteria have metabolisms, catabolic and anabolic biochemical reactions going on in their cells all the time. Viruses do not. Bacteria can grow in size to a certain extent while viruses do not change in this regard. The definition of living things classify bacteria as a living thing, while viruses are not.
