Bacteria are unicellular organisms that are a few micrometers long and have many shapes - curved rods, rods, spiral, spheres.
Virus us a sub-microscopic particle ranging in size from 20 nm to 300 nm.
Bacteria are cellular while viruses are non cellular .
Bateria are made of cells APEX~:)
Viral DNA is the very simple DNA that runs the processes of viruses. Viruses can not live without feeding off of higher-level organisms, so there are not considered to be true life. If you know some about DNA, viruses have around 10,000 nucleotides. Bacterial DNA is much more complex, with millions of nucleotides. Bacteria are certainly life, because they often exist on their own. Both viruses and bacteria use DNA, but the difference is how much and how complex it is.
Yes, they can cure bacterial infections but they cannot cure viruses. :)
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.
One is caused by bacteria and the other is caused by viruses. Only bacterial diseases can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Bacteria are alive, viruses are not. Viruses invade bacteria and take over their properties, including the ability to infect.
Even though the symptoms are mostly the same, bacterial diarrhea is caused by bacteria, and viral diarrhea is caused by viruses. This means that the treatment for each is different, since the same medicines do not affect both bacterias and viruses.
Viruses destroy computers,BUT Anti-Viruses destroy viruses.
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.
Viruses that prevent bacterial infections are called as "bacteriophages".

No. Antivirals work to limit the reproduction of viruses, and antibiotics work to kill bacteria. Antivirals do not kill bacteria, and antibiotics do not kill viruses.
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
Flu and HIV
To understand the difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral, we must first have a good understanding of the difference between bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are living single celled-organisms that can live outside of a living host and multiply on surfaces such as telephones, door handles, counters, etc. Bacteria infect a host and reproduce in order to multiply. Viruses are non-living organisms that infect a host and then "reprogram" the host's cells to do the job of producing more virus. The difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral laryngitis, is bacterial laryngitis is not systemic, meaning that it only attacks one area of the body particularly the larynx (voice box) or immediate surrounding areas of the throat. Whereas viral laryngitis is systemic meaning that it causes other symptoms such as runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing, etc. The more "cold-like" symptoms you have, the less likely you are to have the bacterial version of laryngitis. Also, the presence of a fever points more towards bacterial laryngitis than viral. Bacterial laryngitis is highly contagious where viral is not. Bacterial laryngitis can be spread very easily to others because it is an airborne bacteria. So if you suspect that you have the bacterial version of laryngitis, stay away from others and take precautions such as washing your hands and using antibacterial hand sanitizers. The treatment of viral laryngitis is lots of hot, clear fluids such as tea and chicken broth and plenty of rest. Whereas the treatment of bacterial laryngitis is antibiotics perscribed from your doctor.
