What is an RNA particle that causes disease?
A plant pathologist discovered an infectious RNA particle smaller than a virus that causes diseases in plants. He called it a viroid. Millions each year are lost by these viroids. These contain only RNA.
What is the smallest known life form?
I believe that is what biologists call "viroids", which are much smaller than viruses, and as of yet are not completely understood. but if your asking for the answer for your homework and its not "viroids" its definitely "microbes" your welcome 100% on my tests ;)
What are the five major groups of human pathogens?
Virus (notable members: HIV, Influenza (flu)); bacteria (NM: E.Coli, salmonela); Fungi (NM: ringworm, athlete's foot); Prion (NM: mad cow disease); Protists (NM: Malaria, giardia)----- I know of two more; plants (NM: pollen); Pathogen (NM: tapeworm)
Do virus have an amoeba?
Not intentionally, for when they do - the virus eats them.
Can you see virus with the naked eye?
Since a virus is far smaller than a typical cell (much smaller than a prokaryote) a virus cannot be seen by a regular microscope. To see a virus, you should get an electron microscope.
Is a eukaryote smaller than a virus?
no virus is smaller than virus.

Is the smallest living organism?
I think currently the smallest living organisms are thought to be "viroids", which are smaller than viruses. Scientists are still figuring out exactly what viroids are, and do, but they are able to replicate, which means they are life.
Is bacteria bigger than a virus?
No, a virus is much smaller than bacteria.

Is virus are much smaller then bacteria?
Yes, viruses are smaller than bacteria.
Is tobacco mosaic virus smaller than a bacterium?
no almost nothing is smaller than bacterium
Is the HIV smaller than Hepatitis virus?
No. It is larger by 2x.
Is an atom as tiny as a bacterium?
An atom is millions of times smaller than a virus which is thousands of times smaller than a bacterium.
