There are significant similarities and distinctions between bacteria and viruses
When it comes to similarities, both are disease-causing organelles, both can evolve, and both can multiply. However, the bacteria can multiply on their own whereas the viruses require a living host cell, indicating that they are alive (Rye et al, 2016). Their variations include; Prokaryotes known as bacteria have fully developed round, rod-shaped, or spiral cells. According to Rye et al. (2016), a bacterium's cell wall structure affects whether it is gram-positive or gram-negative. While the inner core of viruses, which can be either DNA or RNA but not both, and the exterior capsid, which is made up of protein subunits, are non-cellular organelles. Certain viruses have an outer membrane (Crosta, 2021).
