yeah, viruses are smaller then bacteria .

both of these are small and cannot be spotted by the naked eye.

bacteria - they are single-celled organisms that can replicate themselves (duplicate themselves)

viruses - in contrast, contain a piece of genetic material that is encapsulated by a protein coat (protected by a protein coat).

They are very small and can be considered ultramicroscopic. We were not able to see them with the best light microscopes as we could bacteria (prokaryotes).We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small. This was not available until recently.

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.
