Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. Viruses are microorganisms that can only reproduce within the cells of a host organism.

The differences between viruses and bacteria include;  

  1. Viruses do not have any cell and are considered between living and non-living things, while bacteria have one cell (Unicellular) and are living organisms.
  2. Viruses are smaller in size (20-400 nm) when compared with bacteria (1000 nm).
  3. Viruses do not have a cell wall but a protein coat is present, while bacteria have a cell wall that is composed of peptidoglycan.
  4. Viruses require a living cell to reproduce, while bacteria can reproduce by itself.
  5. The DNA or RNA of viruses is enclosed inside a coat of protein, while that of bacteria floats freely in the cytoplasm within the cell.

Water can move freely through the membrane from a higher to a lower concentration in a transportation process called _____.
nignag [31]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is osmosis.

Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher though a semipermeable membrane.

In other words, it is the water movement from an area where its ( water ) concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.

This process does not require any energy as water is moving along the concentration gradient.
