Answer:- Some of the differences between Bacteria, Virus and Fungi are listed below:-

	Bacteria	Virus	Fungi
Cell Membrane	Present beneath the cell wall	Cell wall is absent	Present
Genetic Material	DNA	DNA or RNA	DNA
Motility	Certain prokaryotes use flagellum to move	Do not move on their own, reside on surfaces or carried by air.	Do not move, forms spores that can be carried by wind or water
Nucleus	Prokaryotes do not have nucleus and genetic material is present in cytoplasm	Nucleus absent	Contains nucleus inside which DNA is present.
Size	0.5-5 um	20-300 nm	2-10 um
Nutrition	Takes up nutrients like Carbohydrates, proteins and fats to grow	viruses are not alive, thus do not take nutrients. They just invade host cell and replicate.	Take up nutrients in form of monosaccharide, disaccharides and amino acids.
Antibiotics	can kill bacteria	cannot kill viruses	do not effect fungi
Living	yes	no, they are obligate parasites. They only replicate inside a host	yes
Disease caused	cholera, tuberculosis, salmonella, staph infections, tetanus, diptheria etc.	Flu, HIV, Hepatitis, measles, herpes, chicken pox, ebola and some cancers	aspergilosis, spergilloma, candidiasis, ringworm
Morphology	spiral, cocci, bacilli	polyhedral, spherical, phage and helical	hypha, yeast
