Viruses and Bacteria |
1. Both viruses and bacteria are microscopic organism. So, they cannot be seen without a microscope. | 1. Bacteria are single-celled and considered living organism. Viruses are not cells but genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. They do not have cellular structures and are considered nonliving particles. |
| 2. Both of them have the potential to cause infections and diseases in humans, animals, and plants. | 2. Bacteria can reproduce independently through binary fission; In contrast, viruses require a host cell to replicate. | |
| 3. Both of them have mechanisms for replication. | 3. Antibiotics can kill bacteria or inhibit their growth but Antibiotics cannot effective against viruses. | |
| 4. Both of them can be transmitted from one organism to another through various means. | 4. Generally, bacteria are larger in size compared to viruses. | |

Culture and Civilization |

Civilizations are often recognized for their historical impact, achievements, and contributions to human history. Cultures may not always have the same recognized historical on a global scale. |
