We present bounds on the number of points in algebraic curves and algebraic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ of small degree $d$, depending on the number of linear components contained in such curves and hypersurfaces. The obtained results have applications to the weight distribution of the projective Reed-Muller codes PRM$(q,d,n)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$.
