Notes on Viruses and Bacteria

#StudyatHome The anatomy is equally small but once screwing around makes the whole world hassles They are viruses and bacteria The organisms that are most blamed if someone is getting sick but actually, as you often asked what is the difference between them? and which is more deadly? Simply, you must know in advance that both can be deadly deadly or not, it depends on the type of viruses or bacteria Take Tuberculosis or TBC as an example It becomes one of the most deadly diseases in the world caused by bacteria for viruses, no need to ask again but the surprising fact is that bacteria and viruses are not always deadly they can help us though for example, in our stomach it is home to 380 trillion bacteria that help the digestive system Likewise, viruses can also help fight pathogenic bacteria and save lives so in essence, they both can only be deadly if it infects our bodies Then what is really different for them? Actually they are very different Based on its form bacteria are living cells while viruses are biological beings which cannot be considered alive In terms of size, bacteria are very small but viruses are apparently much smaller even viruses cannot be seen using an ordinary microscope The way they grow, they are different Billions of years ago when humans didn't exist bacteria can grow and develop on their own whereas viruses can only survive in other organisms and infect them until the cells in their body are damaged But if they infect a body we must know how to treat it antibiotics for bacteria and vaccines or antivirals for viruses Okay then what makes them deadly? In short this is because they have many tactics to infect Pathogenic bacteria are organisms that infect a body by reproducing themselves or producing toxins and eventually disrupt the workings of an organ while viruses are good at infecting us because they can recognize and target cells that they want to damage they will break into the cell or hack the cell nucleus then the cell dies and new viruses are finally created Viruses are very good at attacking us as if they are alive and can think of their tactic but don't they count as living things? These are the actual forms of viruses even though they are extremely small they are the most numerous organisms on earth If all of these viruses are aligned they will reach 100 million light-years in length passing through the solar system acrossing the Milky Way up to 2000 other galaxies Are they living things? Yes but not really That's why they are called transitional beings they are considered not alive because they do not metabolize but are considered alive because they can reproduce but their reproduction depends on other organisms the organisms include us humans and in all these processes we can be infected by them Indeed viruses and bacteria that are many times smaller than us can both be deadly but that does not mean we just give up on them There is always a way to fight them Use antibiotics, use vaccines, use soap or even keep a safe distance and stay at home The choice is yours and as usual Thank You Thank you for watching Kok Bisa Have more questions?
