What makes a cell increase in size faster the cell membrane or the cell contents?
a virus
Are viruses larger then cells?
No. Viruses are smaller than cells. If a cell were the size of a basketball, then a virus would be about the size of a penny.
What is smallest A skin cell or A virus?
A virus is smaller than a skin cell. Skin cells are typically 30-40 micrometers in diameter, while viruses can range in size from 20 to 300 nanometers. Thus, viruses are significantly smaller than skin cells.
A biology student is using illustrations of a virus a bacteria an amoeba and a human skin cell to show the relative size of these microscopic objects Which of these is the smallest microscopic obj?
virus
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
What makes a cell increase in size faster the cell membrane or the cell contents?
a virus
Do cell sizes differ?
Of coarse cell sizes differ. Take and egg for example; it is 100 times the size of an average skin cell
Explain why cell can differ so much in size?
Some cells have constraints on their size, for instance a cell wall, whereas other cells have flexible cell membranes, which pose no constraints on the cell size.
Are viruses larger then cells?
No. Viruses are smaller than cells. If a cell were the size of a basketball, then a virus would be about the size of a penny.
How viruses differ from living cell?
A virus is an inert chemical, with no metabolic activity, when it is not inside a cell. It cannot function on its own. Whereas with a living cell you always have a metabolism, even if the cell is part of a parasitic organism.
Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
Which is the biggest bacteruim virus or yeast cell?
A yeast cell is the biggest followed by the bacteruim then the virus The virus is easily the smallest it can be up to 1/10000th of the size of a bacterium! A bacteria is about 1.8 millionth of a meter a yeast cell is about a 12 millionth of a meter which means the yeast cell is more than 6x larger than a bacterium!
What is smallest A skin cell or A virus?
A virus is smaller than a skin cell. Skin cells are typically 30-40 micrometers in diameter, while viruses can range in size from 20 to 300 nanometers. Thus, viruses are significantly smaller than skin cells.
