Blog 10: Bacteria VS...


Bacteria vs. Virus
      Similarities                                             Differences
·         Have enzymes
·         Bacteria are prokaryotic cells
·         Both cause diseases(Pathogens)
·         Viruses are non-cellular
·         Do not have nucleus
·         Bacteria are spherical, rod, or spiral shaped.
·         Can survive extreme weather conditions
·         Virus are geometric shape

·         Bacteria: Reproduction


·         Virus: Replication

·         Bacteria: can multiply on non-living surfaces

·         Virus: must have a living host to multiply

Virus vs. Prion
        Similarities                                             Differences
·         Contain proteins
·         Prions: do not have nucleic acid in cell structure
·         Host can be on mammals
·         Virus: Nucleic acid to help them reproduce
·         Need living cells to grow and reproduce
·         Virus: have protein coat
·         Are non-living things
·         Prions: cause brain diseases only

·         Virus: produces many severe diseases

Bacteria vs. Protist
       Similarities                                             Differences
·         Fusion of gametes
·         Protist: have membrane bound-nucleus
·         Are unicellular
·         Protist: Eukaryotic Cells
·         Cause diseases (pathogens)
·         Bacteria: Prokaryotic Cells
·         Divide by binary fission
·         Bacteria have a cell wall: therefore being spherical, rod, or spiral shaped.
·         Heterotrophs or autotrophs
·         Protist lack a cell wall: therefore can not stay n specific shapes.
