Several instruments make use of both bass and tenor clefs. The most common ones I can think of presently are the cello and the bassoon. Much of the time, music is written in bass clef, but can change when the passage to be played moves up to a higher register where tenor clef would be appropriate.
No the violin's have there own clef and viola's also have there own clef but cello and bass have the same clef.
Cello most commonly uses the bass clef, but it also sometimes requires knowledge of the tenor and treble clefs. So, no. It's best to learn all of the clefs anyway because they aren't difficult and are easy to remember.
The G clef is also known, more commonly, as the treble clef. Some of the instruments which use the treble clef are flute, clarinet, french horn, oboe, violin, trumpet, and saxophone.
The string instrument between a violin and a cello in size is called a viola. It is bigger than a violin, and deeper in sound. It also reads in a different clef- violins read in the treble clef, and violas red in the alto clef.
