Differences of Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi?

I need to know what the similarities and differences are. :)





please help!Differences of Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi?
Viruses are simply free floating DNA with protein caps


Bacteria divide not by mitosis but binary fission


Protists reproduce sexually and asexually; have food vacuoles


Fungi are not plants and do not perform photosynthesis and are comprised of hyphaeDifferences of Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi?
I don't know all of them but here are some


Viruses are not living and need a host to reproduce. Vaccines target viruses by injecting a partial amount of the virus. Viruses are just DNA in a protein coat


Bacteria do not have a nucleus and antibiotics can target bacteria.


Protists are larger than bacteria. They can reproduce asexually.


I'm not sure about fungi.


Out of protists, bacteria, and viruses, protists are the largest (can be seen with 10x microscopic lens), bacteria are the next largest, and viruses are the smallest.
