Q1: What is the difference between a bacterium and a virus?

[Answer]

Bacteria and viruses are the tiniest things in our bodies. The body of each bacterium is made from just one cell.

The body of a virus is not a cell. It is a just a bag which contains a long strand of genes for making copies.

Even after being stored like a powder a virus will breed.

Some bacteria and viruses can cause disease, even though most bacteria do us good.
