Able to reproduce asexually by cell division
Unable to reproduce on its own, so they invade a host cell.
Genetic material can be transferred between cells
Unable to carry out any usual activities of a living organism
Living organism
Non living organism
Some bacteria can be beneficial to the human body
No viruses are beneficial to the body
Unicellular (one)
No cells as it is not living
Most bacteria can grow on non-living surfaces.
viruses must have a living host to multiply,
Can be treated by antibiotics
Can't be treated by antibiotics but vaccines can prevent the spread and antiviral medications help to slow reproduction but can not stop it completely.

What is the structural difference between a virus or bacteria?
