How are viroids and prions the same?
Both Viroids and Prions have nucleic acid, but Viroids have no outer protein coat.
The only known infectious agents that lack genetic material are A. certain viruses. B. prions. C. viroids. D. none of the above D?
It is B Prions
Are prions and viroids smaller than a virus?
yes
What are viroids and prions?
I have no idea so go ask someone else. The similarities between viroids and prions are that both are acellular pathogens, and do not grow and they differ in the sense that prions do not have nucleic acids while viroids have the nucleic acid,RNA.
What are 2 non-living pathogens?
viruses and viroids.
How are viroids and prions the same?
Both Viroids and Prions have nucleic acid, but Viroids have no outer protein coat.
What kinds of microbes are there?
I) Prions II) Viroids III) Viruses IV) Archaebacteria V) Eubacteria, and VI) The Protists.

Are prions and viroids smaller than a virus?
yes
What basic structure do viruses share?
Unlike prions and viroids, viruses consist of two or three parts: all viruses have genes made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; all have a protein coat that protects these genes; and some have an envelope of fat that surrounds them when they are outside a cell. Viroids do not have a protein coat and prions contain no RNA or DNA. In short, just say that all viruses have a protein coat and either DNA or RNA.
Which is the smallest virus infecting human beings?
The human rhinovirus, the virus that causes common colds, is the smallest human-infecting virus, with an average diameter of about 30 nanometers. Other viruses such as smallpox are around 10 times larger, at 300 nanometers.

What are the types of microorganism?
There are many things considered to microscopic microorganisms. The term organism means that these are alive so viruses, viroids and prions are not part of the group. That leaves bacteria of various sizes and shapes, protozoa and phytoplankton.
What are 2 non-living pathogens?
viruses and viroids.
Describe how can viruses and prions can alter cell function?
Viruses and prions have the ability to reproduce. After entering a cell, they alter something about it's protein formation
What are acellular particles?
Acellular particles are basically just particles that aren't made up of cells (aka non-cellular). These include viruses, prions and viroids. Because they aren't made up of cells, they aren't classified as living organisms. They are obviously neither eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
Are viruses the smallest pathogens?
No, prions are smaller still.
