Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because they can’t reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living. Nor do viruses have cells: they’re very small, much smaller than the cells of living things, and are basically just packages of nucleic acid and protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses are non-living in nature until they come in contact with the living cells. Most of the viruses are infectious in nature. Whereas some of the other microorganisms are useful in nature. Viruses can multiply very rapidly than the microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Virus grow only inside cells of other plants and animals, whereas other microorganisms can grow by itself. Other microorganisms have both positive and negative uses, but virus only has negative effects-it causes diseases.
