How are viruses different from bacteria
Butoxors [25]

I believe the correct answer is that viruses are not cells while bacteria are cells with organelles.

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>Viruses</h3>

Viruses can simply be explained as genetic materials enclosed in capsules that protects them from the immune system.

Viruses need a host to survive since they lack a mechanism to replicate in meaning they are obligate intracellular organisms.

Reproduction of viruses is through attaching their DNA or RNA into the machinery of the host that replicates them as part of the normal DNA of the cell.

They are the smallest living organisms and cannot be seen microscopically.

They cannot be infected but rather can infect bacteria

They have a capsid that protects the viral material and also contains the receptors attachments that are able to attach to the specific sites which they are infecting. Some of them have an extra layer of a membrane that is called an envelope that further protects the viruses from their hostile environment

They are treated by antiviral medications that affects their replication on normal cells.

They are pathogenic by destroying the cells they enter after successfully replicating their genetic material.

They can either have DNA or RNA but never both.

<h3>Bacteria</h3>

They are cellular prokaryotes with cell organelles that keeps them functional

They can be obligate intracellular organisms or they can survive outside the cell without any problem depending on the particular species of the bacteria since they have cell organelles that can function.

Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission where the cell organelles just double up and the cell pinches into 2 different sections with equal distribution of genetic materials forming 2 different cells.

They can be infected by types of viruses called bacteriophages that use the hosts nucleoid to replicate.

They have a cell membrane and a cell wall which encloses the inner contents of the bacteria and also protects the bacteria from the immune system.

They are treated by antibiotics such as β-lactam antibiotics that destroys their cell wall making it porous and the cell eventually dies.

They do not enter the host for reproduction but rather they kill the host through toxins such as toxin A and toxin B

They do not have a nucleus but have the nucleoid that contains the DNA of the bacterium.

1. Bees pollinate flowers and flowers provide nectar for the bees. "M"

2. A tapeworm attaches to the intestines of  animals and absorbs their nutrients. "P"

3.Tiny birds helping to keep a crocodile's  mouth clean by eating scraps of

food caught between the crocodile's teeth. "M"

4. A tree frog using a plant for shelter from the  rain. "C"

5.  A tick feeding on the blood of a deer. "P"

Explanation:

Mutualism : If 2 or more species are having an association and the relation is useful to both the organisms in relation, is termed 'mutualism'.

eg: In pollination bees transfer pollens and help reproduce flowering plants and bees get nutrition from the nector.

The plover bird comes to crocodile's mouth as it gives invitation to it to cleanse its mouth and food stuck between the teeth because crocodile cannot go flossing. In turn plover birds gets its food. In this relation both bird and crocodile benefited.

Commensalism: This is a relation between two organisms or species in which one partner is benefited while other neither gets harmed nor benefited.

eg :A tree frog utilizes the shade of plants and hide in the plant to get saved from prey in turn plant does not get anything.

Parasitism: In this association parasite lives in the organism and benefits from it but host gets harmed with this association.

eg: The tapeworm living in intestine of animals attaches to draw nutrition in turn animal gets disease caused by it.

Tick receive nutrition and the deer gets the disease.
