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.
no bacteria is larger than viruses
Certain bacteria and viruses carry their DNA in little rings rather than in chromosomes, so don't have a distinct nucleus like larger organisms.
Bacteria are prokaryotes, viruses are not classified within the six kingdoms of life, and so are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes.
Bacteria and viruses can breed. i.e. When bacteria breeds, they form large colonies visible to the naked eye When viruses breed, they become more deadly or mutate but are still virtually invisible to the naked eye.
It shows us, through means of zooming in very much, little organisms. Cells, bacteria and viruses are shown with a microscope as well. But the most positive thing is that it has proven to people (1800) that the germ theory of disease really was true by means of showing proof that bacteria and viruses really are 'existing'.
Bateria are made of cells APEX~:)
Only Bacteria can reproduce outside of a host.. Bacteria are made of cells
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)

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.

-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
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.
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
