What are some similarities & differences between bacteria and viruses?

differences:


size- viruses are smaller


machinery- bacteria make their own while viruses generally steal polymerases etc.. from the host


only viruses utilise reverse transcriptase


life cycle is different





similarities:


both may be strongly pathogenic


both are microscopic


both may be easily communicable/infectious

both evolve in time

What are some similarities %26amp; differences between bacteria and viruses?
The main difference between a virus and a bacteria is;


The bacteria in an independent entity and goes about what it has to do by simply feeding and multiplying.


The virus must usurp the workings of a cell and actually becomes part of the cell itself to replicate and do business.


The similarities are much more diverse.


Both can be deadly, beneficent or benign.


We could not get along without bacteria.


Get rid of all the viruses and we could survive.
