Best Answer

Bacteria are normally larger than viruses but smaller than eukaryotic cells. the bacterial cell size ranges between 0.5 to 5 micrometers in length (10 times smaller than eukaryotes). Viruses are ultra microscopic, their size ranges between 20-500 nanometers, it can be detected by electron microscopes.
