Question

When it comes to being sick or having a disease, do you know if you have a bacterial or viral infection? Many people don't know there is a difference. For this project, let's see if you are aware of the many differences between bacteria and viruses. Test your knowledge in the activity below! Infected organisms often display symptoms quickly. When you have successfully completed the activity, respond to the following questions: How many bacteria and viruses did you produce in the simulation? (This number is shown as count on the interactive game). List at least five differences between bacteria and virus.

Answer 1

The number is based off your score from the game you played. 5000 of each is the max. Im not sure, but i think its 100 points for every right answer. Im probably wrong about that. But i know 5000 is the max for both.

There are a lot of major differences. Viruses can be deadly, bacteria not so much. Viruses are simple and small, bacteria are complex and large. A virus needs a host to reproduce, bacteria reproduce from binary fission. Viruses either have dna or rna, never both. Bacteria have both. Viruses aren’t considered alive, bacteria is.

Change it around a little when you write it yourself.

Answer 2

I made up to 100 Bacteria and about 50 viruses. Bacteria are single celled, prokaryotic microorganisms. Viruses are acellular (no cell structure). Hope this helps! Please comment and let me know if this was right. (you can get the other differences just off google lol)
