Generally speaking bacterial cells (about 2 micrometer diameter) are much smaller than eukaryotic cells (about 25 micrometer diameter). Therefore a bacterial cell is smaller.

What is smaller human red blood cell bacterium or virus?
Red blood cell
How does the size of the blood cell compare to Dust Mites and to the e coli bacteria?
RBCs are smaller than dust mites and larger than E. coli.
What cell is smaller a virus cell a bacteria cell or a yeast cell?
The YEAST cell is by far the biggest cell out of a BACTERIUM and a VIRUS.... I know this 'cos it was on my science homework and 'cos i found it on another website which gave me the urge to put it here since the question hadn't been answered....x
Which is the smallest out of yeast or viruses or bacteria?
Viruses are, by far, the smallest. Bacteria and yeast cells have a complete cell structure, including the nucleus and all of the other parts of a cell. Viruses don't, so they have to inject their 'material' (I don't remember the name of the inside the virus) into the 'host' cell and force it to duplicate the viruses, which kills the host cell.
What environmental condition led to the evolution of the Eukaryote?
One theory is that early bacteria took in smaller bacteria. The smaller bacteria were not destroyed. After a time they began to specialize and perform specific functions for the larger cell. Other bacteria were taken in which also specialized. The genetic material of the smaller bacteria became incorporated into the genetic material of the larger. When the large bacteria reproduced, it then would produce copies of the smaller ones inside. These smaller bacteria were then acting as organelles. Cells with organelles are complex, or eukaryote cells. A membrane would also form around the genetic material of the larger cell, creating a nucleus.
How many bacteria can fit into animal cells?
Bacteria cells are smaller than animal cells. While a bacteria cell is about one micron, an animal cell is about 10 microns. From this data, about ten bacteria cells will fit into an animal cell.
Which is bigger a skin cell or blood cell?
This is a very vauge question. While most "germs" are smaller than skin cells (viruses and smaller bacteria) some bacteria can be larger than skin cells. Though most aren't larger than white blood cells, the body's defenders.
Are viruses smaller or bigger than bacteria?
there are some bacteria that approach the size of larger viruses but, viruses are smaller than bacteria
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. A virus is smaller than bacteria A virus is smaller than bacteria
Is virus are much smaller then bacteria?
Yes, viruses are smaller than bacteria.
What is smalller a virus amoeba or bacteria?
A virus is many times smaller than either an amoeba or a bacteria. Perhaps thousands would fit into a bacterial cell.
Are viruses much smaller than bacteria?
I think so because viruses usually go inside bacteria and take over the bacteria cell But I'm totally sure
What are disease-causing organisms that are smaller than bacteria?
All the disease causing viruses are smaller in size than bacteria. Rickettsia and chlamydia are other groups of organisms, which are smaller than true bacteria.
Are viruses much smaller than?
I think so because viruses usually go inside bacteria and take over the bacteria cell But I'm totally sure
Bacteria are much smaller than most?
Bacteria is typically smaller than Eukaryotes. In fact, Eukaryotes have an organelle called the mitochondria which resemble an enveloped bacteria.
What is smaller human red blood cell bacterium or virus?
Red blood cell
How big is a bacteria compared to a human cell?
The size of a typical bacterial cell is 0.5-5.0 micrometers, a average human cell is 10 micrometers.
