How large are viruses compared to bacteria?
Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are typically 10 to 100 times larger than viruses.
What are the main differences between a virus and a bacteria which enable scientists to classify them?
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can replicate themselves. By this, I mean that they have all the genetic material to replicate (DNA & RNA). Viruses, in contrast, contain a piece of genetic material that is encapsulated by a protein coat known as a capsid. Because viruses only have a portion of genetic material, they have to infect a host organism and inject its material into the host and use the host to do the work for the virus. Since bacteria can "live" on its own and viruses cannot, bacterial infections can be treated with medications while viral cannot. In comparison of size, viruses are about 100 times smaller than bacteria. About of 90% of known bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship with humans. This means that the presence of bacteria is beneficial to both the bacteria and humans. In comparison, most viruses feed of the host to produce more viruses... therefore having no benefit to the host.
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
What are three difference between viruses and 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
Do viruses have endospores?
No, viruses do not have endospores. Endospores are a dormant form of certain bacteria that allow them to survive harsh conditions, while viruses lack the cellular machinery to form such structures. Viruses are much simpler entities compared to bacteria.
What is the difference from a cold and sinuses?
The difference between them is Sinuses are caused by bacteria and colds are caused by viruses. Viruses are commonly minor in comparison to bacteria (which is what causes sinus problems). That is just a small comparison.
What is the size comparison of bacteria fungi protists and viruses?
they look kinda similar
What is the big difference between viruses and bacteria?
Viruses are replication parasites that can do nothing until they take over a living cell. Bacteria are living cells.
What are the viruses the infect bacteria called?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
What are difference between bacteria and viruses.?
-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
What difference between bacteria and viruses shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses?
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
What are the differances viruses and bacteria?
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
Are bacteria larger than viruses?
no bacteria is larger than viruses
Are viruses smaller or bigger than bacteria?
there are some bacteria that approach the size of larger viruses but, viruses are smaller than bacteria
How large are viruses compared to bacteria?
Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are typically 10 to 100 times larger than viruses.
What are the smilarities between bacteria and viruses?
bacteria causes viruses 2nd Answer: My apologies, but the first answer is totally untrue. Both bacteria and viruses can cause disease, but bacteria are alive, and viruses are not. They both contain RNA/DNA to assure they are replicated correctly.
