Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria are single cell organisms that can reproduce independently of the host. They cause infections such as such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia. These organisms are susceptible to antibiotics and individuals can be treated with the appropriate medication to kill the bacteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -How viruses travel through the body. Once a virus gets into a host’s body, it travels along the surfaces of cells until its proteins begin to bind with receptors on the cells. The virus and the cells then fuse, allowing the DNA or RNA inside the virus to enter the cells, where it begins to reproduce.
Detailed explanation-3: -On a biological level, the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.
