Fungi are biggest as they have much longer cell structures than both bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are 2nd largest and viruses smallest.


Which type of microrganisim is the smallest?

A prion is a small infectious particle that contains a misfolded protein. These contain no DNA or RNA. These cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Scrapie in sheep and Kuru. These are deadly and progressive nerve wasting diseases.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.These two are the smallest infectious particles. They are not called microorganisms because they are not alive any more than viruses are.


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 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.


Hepatitis virus comes under which type of virus?

Several diseases of the liver, collectively known as hepatitis, are caused by viruses. The viruses involved, five of which have been reasonably well characterized, come from a wide range of virus families. Hepatitis A virus is a picornavirus, a small single strand RNA virus; hepatitis B virus belongs to the hepadnavirus family of double stranded DNA viruses; hepatitis C virus is a flavivirus, a single stand RNA virus; hepatitis E, also an RNA virus, is similar to a calicivirus. Hepatitis D which is also known as Delta agent is a circular RNA that is more similar to a plant a viroid than a complete virus.

Which of these is an infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component viroid vector prion virus?

An infectious agent consisting of a protein is a prion. This is a misfolded protein. It can cause several central nervous system diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru in humans, Spongiform Encephalopathy in cows, mink, and cats plus Scrapie in sheep.A VIROID consists only of a minuscule circular RNA molecule, lacking the protein coat of a virus. Viroids appear to be transmitted mechanically from one cell to another through cellular debris. They infect only plants. Viroids are common plant pathogens which cause severe economic problems.A vector is something that carries something else. Like the bacteria on our hands or the ones on the feet of flies.A virus is much more complicated than the viroid or prion and has DNA or RNA (not both) as their genetic material with a protein coat surrounding them.


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!
