• They are single-celled organisms.<\/li>
• Some of them grow as independent single cells while some are multi-cellular fruiting bodies and play an important role in the life cycle.<\/li>
• They do not have complex organelles in the cell.<\/li>
•  They have an internal organization but don\u2019t have a plasma membrane-like other living cells.<\/li>
• Bacterial cells have ribosomes (spherical units) where protein assembles from amino acids using the data encoded in the DNA ribosome.<\/li><\/ul><\/td>

• They do not have cellular organelles and cytoplasm.<\/li>
• They do not perform metabolic activities.<\/li>
• They may only contain DNA or RNA. They can\u2019t contain both.<\/li><\/ul>
  
  • They reproduce at a tremendous amount, but they need a living host to replicate.<\/li>
  • Many viruses have the ability to mutate.<\/li>
  • Viruses are like parasites; they use the host cell\u2019s metabolic machinery.<\/li>
  • They alone cannot grow and divide, they would need a host cell to produce and assemble their viral components.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr>
