What is the smallest thing that can be considered alive?
The smallest thing that can be considered alive is a single-celled organism, such as a bacterium or a protozoan. These organisms are made up of a single cell that carries out all the functions necessary for life, including metabolism, growth, and reproduction. They are considered alive because they exhibit characteristics of living organisms, such as responding to stimuli and maintaining homeostasis.

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.
What are the smallest structures that biologists consider to be living?
