Bateria are made of cells APEX~:)
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.
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
Bacteria are considered living organisms because they can reproduce, metabolize, and respond to stimuli independently. They have a cellular structure with organelles and can carry out cellular processes. In contrast, viruses are not considered living organisms because they cannot reproduce, metabolize, or respond to stimuli on their own - they require a host cell to replicate and carry out their life cycle.
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that exhibit characteristics of life, such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction independently. They possess cellular structures and can carry out essential life processes on their own. In contrast, viruses lack cellular structures and cannot reproduce or carry out metabolic processes without invading a host cell. This dependence on a host for replication and lack of independent life functions is a key reason why viruses are not considered living organisms.

Only Bacteria can reproduce outside of a host.. Bacteria are made of cells
Viruses are replication parasites that can do nothing until they take over a living cell. Bacteria are living cells.
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)

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.

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.
