Whats the difference between fungi, bacteria and viruses?

I need to know the differences between bacteria , fungi and viruses e.g. breeding rate, and size?





Many Thanks xWhats the difference between fungi, bacteria and viruses?
Bacteria and fungi are NOT classified under plants. Plants are their own separate entity. The major difference is that bacteria are prokaryotic, fungi are eukaryotic organisms, and viruses are not actually considered to be living. This is because, unlike bacteria and fungi, viruses cannot self replicate. They need the replication machinery (like the spindle apparatus, etc) of a host organism like a human or anything it can infect. It cannot divide by itself, so it must go into a cell and use it to replicate itself.





While there are many other differences in their biological functions, size, and how they look, these are the basic differences.Whats the difference between fungi, bacteria and viruses?
Bacteria and fungi are classified under plants but virus is not confirmed if its living or not.The breeding rate differs fungi can be called the slowest.But bacteria reproduce and viruses replicate.fungi range from macroscopic to microscopic but bacteria are microscopic and are measured in micrometres viruses are measured in nanometers.
