Best Answer

Bacteria are in general ranges from 0.5 to 5µm (micrometer) in length. blood cells ranges from 7-12 µm. so blood cells are bigger than Bacterium.

Over a long period of time it is hypothesized that the relationship between the small bacterium and the large bacterium changed from?

From independent status to codependent status to a symbiotic/parasitic relationship wherein the smaller bacterium was engulfed in the larger, eventually becoming what we know today as a mitochondria, an organelle in the body of a larger cell. Mitochondria are present in almost all human cells and provide energy for the cell.

How does white blood cell kill a bacterium?

lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) produce antibodies which will attach themselves to foreign particles. so a detected bacterium will have many antibodies surrounding it and stuck to it. antibodies which have attached themselves to the bacterium will send a signal to the phagocytes (another type of white blood cell) to come and 'eat'. so the phagocytes will engulf the bacterium, and secrete lysozyme (an enzyme which cuts up everything that comes into contact with it) to digest the bacterium, killing it. thank you for that :poopyloopy dark orbit.
