Is cell or particle smaller?

When you consider the composition of living and non living things, both can be broken down into what comprises them. If one considers non-living matter, then "particle" may be used to describe the smallest unit. As knowledge advances, a "particle" by definition has evolved i.e., quarks being the smallest "particle" of an atom whereas for years it was thought that the atom was the smallest unit of matter. Conversely, the cell is considered the smallest unit of organic (living) matter The only major difference between them is that a cell is the smallest particle of a living object and a molecule (made up of atoms) is the smallest unit of a nonliving object.

What are the smallest unit on earth that is considered alive?

Difficult question. Viruses can be considered non-living because they lack a cellular structure and cannot metabolize things on their own. Porcine cicovirus is the smallest virus. Nanobes are considered the smallest known organism by most. But there are also Nanoarchaeum and Mycoplasma Gentilalium.


What is the smallest unit of matter?

PPLO i.e. pleuro-pneumonia-like organisms. Viruses could be the smallest living things, but they cannot be classified definitively as "living" since they do not carry out the processes associated with life. They only reproduce, and then only by altering the reproductive mechanisms of other organisms.
