viruses dont eat anything because they are not living, bacteria eat anything they can find, they break down what they can find and absorb it, the feed on glucose just like every other heterotrophic organism
Yes, viruses are structurally organized with genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane. These structures help viruses infect host cells and replicate.
Bacteriaophage litterally means Eater of Bacteria. Viruses don't eat bacteria, they hijack the cellular machinery to create more copies. Viruses do kill bacteria, but that is distinct from eating them.
You can break the word into: Bacterio+Phagein Bacterio=Bacteria Phagein(greek)=to eat Bacteriophages are viruses that consume bacteria. ie. Their host cells are bacteria.
Bacteria can be consumed by other microorganisms like protists and fungi, as well as by certain animals like amoebas. Viruses are not considered living organisms and do not have a metabolism to be "eaten" in the traditional sense. However, viruses rely on infecting host cells to replicate and spread.
A bacteriophage: It literally means bacteria + to eat; these viruses were discovered to generate regions of clear plaques with no bacterial growth when placed on an agar plate covered by a lawn of bacteria.
fungi bacteria viruses

Viruses cannot eat because they lack the cellular machinery for metabolism. Instead, viruses hijack host cells and use their machinery to replicate themselves. This process often damages or destroys the host cell.
Viruses do not technically "eat" in the same way that living organisms do. Instead, they rely on host cells to replicate and reproduce. Once inside a host cell, a virus will hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
yup it can so eat healthy
Both. They eat plants, so they are a parasite. They can be infected with viruses, so they can be a host too.

Not sure if any bacteria/protists eat viruses, but our white blood cells definitely do. How do you think you fight a cold?

No, bacteria do not "eat" viruses. Bacteria have different mechanisms, such as enzymes or specific proteins, to either resist viral infections or defend against them. Some bacteria have CRISPR-Cas systems that can recognize and destroy viral DNA.

protophyta eats germs and bacteria and so many viruses :-)
