Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Viruses are even smaller than bacteria. They aren’t even a full cell. They are simply genetic material (DNA or RNA) packaged inside of a protein coating. They need to use another cell’s structures to reproduce.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are 1000 times smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are single-celled, prokaryotic microorganisms that exist in abundance in both living hosts and in all areas of the planet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria are much larger than viruses, and they are too large to be taken up by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Instead, they enter host cells through phagocytosis.
