Content: Prions are simply misfolded proteins, and viruses are only “alive” when they infect an organism. Thus, both prions and viruses have their own classifications. As for the other organisms, we can classify them in several ways: Eukaryote vs Prokaryote
In this classification scheme, all bacteria are prokaryotes, and fungi, protozoa, helminths and rotifers are eukaryotes. The prokaryotes are further subdivided into eubacteria and archaebacteria. Eubacteria are the medically important bacteria, while archaebacteria are a group of evolutionarily distinct bacteria. Differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes: General Size
Eukaryotes are much larger than Prokaryotes, being about 10-100mm in diameter. Prokaryotes are much smaller, being about only 0.2-2mm in diameter. Nucleus vs Nucleoid :
