Viruses are coated genetic material that invade cells and use the cell's apparatus for reproduction.
Bacteria are single celled organisms. Some classify them as a separate (fourth) kingdom on the tree of life.
Fungi are multi-celled organisms that form a third Kingdom of life, along with the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom.
Parasites are plants or animals that derive benefit from the metabolism of other plants or animals at the expense of the host and without providing some benefit to the host in return.
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be beneficial or harmful. Viruses are infectious agents that can only replicate inside host cells. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (molds). Parasites are organisms that live on or inside another organism and rely on it for nutrients.
