Is a virus bigger or smaller than bacteria?
Bacteria and viruses can breed. i.e. When bacteria breeds, they form large colonies visible to the naked eye When viruses breed, they become more deadly or mutate but are still virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Organisms whose cells have no visible nucleus?
Certain bacteria and viruses carry their DNA in little rings rather than in chromosomes, so don't have a distinct nucleus like larger organisms.
How big is a virus compared to a bacteria?
bacteria size ranges in micrometer i.e. 10-6m virus size ranges in nanometer i.e. 10-9m
Which is difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses not?
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to "hijack" so they can reproduce. Bacteria have metabolisms, catabolic and anabolic biochemical reactions going on in their cells all the time. Viruses do not. Bacteria can grow in size to a certain extent while viruses do not change in this regard. The definition of living things classify bacteria as a living thing, while viruses are not.
Are bacteria and Viruses prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
Bacteria are prokaryotes, viruses are not classified within the six kingdoms of life, and so are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes.
Are viruses smaller or bigger than bacteria?
there are some bacteria that approach the size of larger viruses but, viruses are smaller than bacteria
Is viruses larger than bacteria and human cells?
no
Is a virus bigger or smaller than bacteria?
Bacteria and viruses can breed. i.e. When bacteria breeds, they form large colonies visible to the naked eye When viruses breed, they become more deadly or mutate but are still virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Can you see bacteria with viruses under microscope?
Yes, bacteria can be seen under a light microscope as they are larger than viruses. However, viruses are much smaller and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Specialized electron microscopes are required to visualize viruses.
What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?
Bacteria: Bacteria can be killed by antibiotics. Bacteria is larger. Bacteria can reproduce from the life cycle. Viruses: Viruses cant be killed by antibiotics. Viruses are smaller than bacteria. Viruses cant reproduce without help from a host cell or organism.
Are bacteria smaller than a virus?
Viruses are non-living entities that show characteristics of living beings inside another living cell. Viruses consist of genetic material surrounded by protein coat. They lack organelles or membranes. Thus, they are very much smaller than bacterial cells which have membranes, and sometimes even organelles. In fact, many viruses inhabit bacterial cells. They are called bacteriophages. The smallest bacteria are in the order of .3 micrometers, while the largest viruses are in the order of 400 nanometers. A virus is smaller than bacteria A virus is smaller than bacteria
How can you tell the difference between bacteria and viruses?
The difference is that viruses are smaller than bacteria. One more major difference is that bacteria are living things whereas viruses are non living things.
Is virus are much smaller then bacteria?
Yes, viruses are smaller than bacteria.
Which is easier to cure viruses or bacteria?
actually, curing bacteria is easier than viruses because they can be treated by antibiotics while viruses cant and its result of viruses don't have stable and similar morph
What is smaller bacteria fungi or viruses?
Fungi are biggest as they have much longer cell structures than both bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are 2nd largest and viruses smallest.
What is bigger HIV virus or the pneumonia bacteria?
Viruses are always smaller than bacteria.
Which is the smallest out of yeast or viruses or bacteria?
Viruses are, by far, the smallest. Bacteria and yeast cells have a complete cell structure, including the nucleus and all of the other parts of a cell. Viruses don't, so they have to inject their 'material' (I don't remember the name of the inside the virus) into the 'host' cell and force it to duplicate the viruses, which kills the host cell.
