You are correct. Another important difference between viruses and bacteria is their structure. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, which means they lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Instead, their genetic material is contained within a single circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm. On the other hand, viruses are much simpler in structure, consisting of a protein coat (capsid) that surrounds genetic material (DNA or RNA). Some viruses also have a lipid envelope surrounding the capsid.

In terms of treatment, antibiotics can be effective against bacterial infections, but they have no effect on viral infections. Antiviral medications, on the other hand, can be used to treat certain viral infections, but they are often less effective than antibiotics for bacterial infections. This is because viruses rely on the host cells to replicate, making it difficult to target them without harming the host cells. Bacteria, on the other hand, have distinct cell walls and metabolic processes that can be targeted by antibiotics.
