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.
What is the smallest group of living things?
The smallest living things depend on how a living thing is defined. Some biologists do not believe viruses are living organisms because there are no free living forms (all are parasitic) and because they must reply on their host for reproduction. Others believe that, despite this, they have an existence of their own separate to the host and are subject to natural selection and are therefore alive. If you accept viruses are not alive, the smallest living things would be amongst the bacteria or protists. Bacteria are single celled organisms with no cell nucleus while protists have a nucleus. Generally the bacteria are slightly smaller but their sizes overlap. If you accept that viruses are alive, the smallest group are the Parvoviruses between 18 and 26 nanometres. These are single stranded DNA viruses. 1 nm = 1/1000000000 metres or 0.000039 inches.
Are humans parasitic or free-living organisms?
free-living! We don't live on or in other organisms.
What is is similar among all living organisms on Earth?
All living organisms on Earth use DNA as their genetic material.All living organisms use cellular metabolism to obtain and use energy.All living organisms have some form of response to external stimuli.All living organisms undergo reproduction.All living organisms are made up of one or more cells, the basic unit of life.

What is the smallest unit of living systems?
This question is vague therefore I have provided two answers and explanations. The single cell is the smallest living unit within a living system. Quarks are the smallest particles of matter and atoms which composes all living things.
What is the smallest functional and structural unit of all living organisms?
The cell is the smallest structural unit of living organisms.
All organisms are composed of?
All living organisms are composed of structural and functional units that are called cells. Cells are the smallest unit of life that can be replicated.
What is structural and functional units of life?
Cell of living organisms!

What does cell mean in science terms mean?
smallest living unit organ of life it makes all life happen
What does Cell mean in term?
The cell is the structural, biological and functional unit of all living organisms.
This is the structural and functional unit of all living organisms and are sometimes called the building blocks of life?
cell
Are penguins composed of cells?
Yes, they are.The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms.
Could there be life without a cells?
No. Cells are the structural and functional unit of all living organisms. They are the building blocks of life. Everything living has to have a MINIMUM of 1 cell.
