A ribosome (20 nm) is generally considered the smallest cellular organelle. However, by some definitions vesicles (100-150 nm) are the smallest organelles because they have an encapsulating membrane.

The organelle that is considered to be unimportant for a cell is the peroxisome. Peroxisomes are also called microbodies and they are present in most eukaryotic cells.

Are organelles the basic functional unit of life is this a cell theory?

According to cell theory, the smallest functional unit of life is the cell - not the organelle. Organelles are structures found within cells that have specialised functions. Cell is the SMALLEST unit capable of performing the 7 properties of life.

Smallest to largest organization of the body?

Tissue, cell, organ, organ system, organism


What are the eight levels of organization from smallest to largest organs organism cells systems atoms tissue molecules organelles?

The following is assuming you mean a multi-cellular organism: Atoms are the smallest - they make up everything else on the list. Compunds are two or more atoms joined together, and are second-smallest. Organelles are third smallest - they are located inside of cells - and then cells. The next smallest is a tissue, as it is a group of cells, then organs, as they are groups of tissues, then organ systems (groups of organs), and then the organism as a whole. The second-largest is a population - a group of organisms of the same species - and the the community - all populations in the same area. If it's a unicellular organism, then the organism would be just the cell, and would not contain any organelles, organs, organ systems, or tissues.
