Question
How do viruses differ from other micro-organisms such as bacteria?
✓
Answer
Viruses differ from other micro-organisms because they are too much smaller in comparison to other micro-organisms. They do not show most of the characteristics of the living organisms like respiration. They just reproduce. They, however, reproduce only inside the cells of the host organism, which may be a bacterium, plant or animal. Hence, viruses differ from other micro-organisms.
