characteristic feactures of bacteria
Bacteria: they are prokaryotic cells that absorb nutrients from the environment or produce their own nutrients, through light energy or other processes. In addition, bacteria have cell walls and plasma membranes for protection, DNA/RNA for function, and use Flagellum and their slime layer to move.
Viruses: they are not cellular and aren't able to reproduce outside a host cell. they are obligate intracellular parasites. In addition, viruses are made of protein capsids, surface proteins, and DNA/RNA to inject into the host cell.

What are the 3 micro organisms?
The three main types of microorganisms are bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Each of these organisms play different roles in the environment and have unique characteristics that distinguish them from one another.
How big are viruses in comparison to bacteria?
Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are typically 10 to 100 times larger than viruses.
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 groups of microbes?
There are six major groups of microorganisms: Algae, Bacteria, Fungi, Helminths, Protozoa, and Viruses A mnemonic = All Boys Find Help Pronouncing Viruses In my book it says there are 5 Algea , Protazoa , Fungi, Prions and Viruses
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
What are the 5 main microbes?
bacteria viruses fungi protists
What is the main differences between bacteria and viruses?
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce independently, while viruses are not cells and require a host cell to replicate. Bacteria are larger and can be treated with antibiotics, whereas viruses are much smaller and are typically treated with antiviral medications.
What are the two main groups of microorganisms found on hands?
The two main groups of microorganisms found on hands are bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are the most abundant microorganisms, while viruses are typically less common but can be extremely contagious and cause infections.
What are the four main microbe groups?
Microbes are sorted into these 4 groups: Viruses, Fungi, Bacteria and Protozoa
Name two features that distinguish viruses from bacteria?
All bacteria use their own ribosomes for protein synthesis while all viruses have to use their hosts' ribosomes. All bacteria have their own energy generation mechanisms (cellular respiration or photosynthesis) while all viruses have no intrinsic energy generation mechanisms.
What are the viruses the infect bacteria called?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
Why the bacteria and viruses are main objects in the genetic?
Bacteria and Viruses are the main objects of study in the field of genetics for two reasons: bacteria are chosen because of their simplicity. Viruses are an interesting area of study because they survive by placing their own genetics into other organisms. This gives rise to the possibility of transplanting foreign and possibly beneficial DNA and RNA into hosts that previously did not have those helpful genes.
What are the 3 micro organisms?
The three main types of microorganisms are bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Each of these organisms play different roles in the environment and have unique characteristics that distinguish them from one another.
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
