What is the difference between Bacteria and Virus which causes diseases of human beings?
Both infect the human bodies, but both have different genetic structures and can harm you in different ways. bacteria are single celled organisms with a structure similar to that of a human cell. They have a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm, like a human cell. They reproduce in the human body by asexual reproduction, which means that there is only or ‘parent’ and the cell splits to create another perfect copy, or clone, of the cell it split from. Bacteria can be slowed or denatured (killed) by anti biotics, except for MRSA bacteria which has formed a resistance to our antibiotics. Viruses arent really living things as they only posses one of the 7 characteristics needed for life, this characteristic is reproduction. Also, a virus isnt even really a cell. It is a single strand of genetic material covered by a protein coat. Once inside the body it lands floats around until a cell comes by then it lands on it and often injects a poison into the cell. This poison changes the cells DNA,
