 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VIRUS & BACTERIA.

VIRUS
Viruses are smaller than bacteria
Their size is 20 nm to 250 nm
They must require a host to regulate
their life activities & are called Obligate
Parasite.
Virus structure consists of protein coat
& nucleic acid.
Virus can remain inactive for long
period of time.
BACTERIA
Bacteria are larger than viruses
Their length is 2 to 10 micron & width is
0.2 to 2 micron.
They can live freely without host.
Bacteria consist of cell wall, cell
membrane, cytoplasm & nuclear
material.
Bacteria cannot remain inactive for a
long period of time.

Chapter # 4-Viruses, Bacteria & Cyanobacteria
IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
HETEROCYST: - In each filament there are some large colourless cells called heterocyst are
present. These cells convert atmospheric nitrogen into proteins & also serve to store food &
multiplication.
SAPROPHYTIC BACTERIA: - They get their food from dead organic matter.The soil is full of
organic compounds in the form of humus.
SYMBIOTIC BACTERIA: - They are found associated with other living organisms .They obtain
food from the host without harming it. Examples: nitrogen fixing bacteria in the roots of
leguminous plants.
PARASITIC BACTERIA: - They grow inside the tissues of other livings organisms & obtain food at
the expense of host. These bacteria lack certain complex systems of enzymes.
Examples:- Vibrio Cholerae causes Cholera & Streptococcus Pneumonia causes Pneumonia.
AUTOTROPHIC BACTERIA:-They can synthesize organic compounds from simple inorganic
substances.Autotrophic bacteria may be photosynthetic or chemosynthetic.
a) Photosynthetic bacteria:- They have pigments very similar to the chlorophyll & named
as bacterio-chlorophyll. The pigments are bounded by invaginated plasma membrane in
the cytoplasm& not in the chloroplast. They carry out Photosynthesis.

b) Chemosynthetic bacteria:- They obtain their energy from the oxidation of some
inorganic substances like iron , hydrogen , nitrogen , & sulphur compounds to synthesize
their organic compounds.
