Is viruses larger than bacteria and human cells?
no
Why do most viruses have a single strand genome while larger viruses have a double strand genome?
The larger are encoding hundreds more proteins and assembling more complex virions.
Are bacteria smaller than a virus?
Viruses are non-living entities that show characteristics of living beings inside another living cell. Viruses consist of genetic material surrounded by protein coat. They lack organelles or membranes. Thus, they are very much smaller than bacterial cells which have membranes, and sometimes even organelles. In fact, many viruses inhabit bacterial cells. They are called bacteriophages. The smallest bacteria are in the order of .3 micrometers, while the largest viruses are in the order of 400 nanometers.

Which is easier to cure viruses or bacteria?

What is the worldssmallest living organism?
Depends on your definition of "living".Viruses, and Nanobes are smaller, but many do not consider them living.Viruses are smallestNanobes are larger than VirusesNanoarchaeum are larger than Nanobes.Nanoarchaeum are considered the smallest aside from Viruses and Nanobes.
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 do viruses not impact larger organism?
Population control
Is a virus bigger or smaller than bacteria?
Bacteria and viruses can breed. i.e. When bacteria breeds, they form large colonies visible to the naked eye When viruses breed, they become more deadly or mutate but are still virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Can you see bacteria with viruses under microscope?
Yes, bacteria can be seen under a light microscope as they are larger than viruses. However, viruses are much smaller and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Specialized electron microscopes are required to visualize viruses.
What do they mean when they say sperms are largish?
Compared to certain bacterial and viruses sperm are quite large. They are larger than the HIV virus for instance.
Why do most viruses have a single strand genome while larger viruses have a double strand genome?
The larger are encoding hundreds more proteins and assembling more complex virions.
Why window is infected from viruses not unix?
That is not really a true statement; any operating system is capable of being infected by viruses,worms, etc. Windows has a much larger base, and is therefore more of a target than Unix.
