Question

What is the smallest cell in bacteria?

Answer 1

Bdellovibrio is the smallest bacterium.

Answer 2

bacteria is a single celled organism

Answer 3

Viruses are between 20 and 100 times smaller than bacteria and hence are too small to be seen by light microscopy. Viruses vary in size from the largest poxviruses of about 450 nanometers (about 0.000014 in) in length to the smallest polioviruses of about 30 nanometers (about 0.000001 in). Viruses are not considered free-living, since they cannot reproduce outside of a living cell; they have evolved to transmit their genetic information from one cell to another for the purpose of replication.

A bacteria is a one-celled living animal, with complete sets of both ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genetic codes. A virus is little more than a section of RNA or DNA covered by a protein shell.
