Minimal parts, also known as minimal units, in linguistics are the smallest meaningful or phonological units of language. In morphology, minimal parts are morphemes, which are the smallest units of meaning. In phonology, minimal parts are phonemes, which are the smallest units of sound that can distinguish meaning.
Phonemes are speech sounds, so a vowel phoneme is a speech sound produced by a vowel. Even though there are only five vowels in the alphabet, they are capable of producing different sounds. The English language has 44 phonemes out of which 20 are vowels and 24 consonants.
A phoneme is a sound. It is put in sound boxes like so /n/ /i/ /gh/ /t/. The gh makes one sound so it is only one phoneme. Making a 6 letter word into a 5 sound word.
There are 4 phonemes in the word "night": /n/ /ai/ /t/.
I'm not aware of a concept known as the "phoneme tent", but if you are asking which phonemes (distinct sound units) constitute the word 'tent', then the answer would be 4 -- the consonant 't', the vowel 'e' and the constonants 'n' and 't'. In this case, as with many others, the number of letters in the word happens to match the number of phonemes, but in reality spelling does not in any way determine the number of phonemes, because certain phonemes, for instance, consist of two letters, such as 'sh' or 'th', when in fact they both represent only one phoneme between the two of them.

In phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, which differ in only one phonological element, such as a phone, phoneme, toneme or chroneme and have distinct meaning.An example is comb and rome. The phonemic transcription of comb is [komb] and the phonemic transcription of rome is [rown]. Therefor this pair of words constitute a minimal pair: initial consonant.
Is a pair of words which differ in pronunciation in only one sound
It is called an Isotope.... C12, C13, C14 is a classical example
No. An alphabet consists of only letters. A phoneme is a unit of language which has meaning. Letters, numbers, and symbols are all phonemes. There are dozens of phoneme types and subtypes. For instance, within letters you have consonants and vowels.
Phonemes are speech sounds, so a vowel phoneme is a speech sound produced by a vowel. Even though there are only five vowels in the alphabet, they are capable of producing different sounds. The English language has 44 phonemes out of which 20 are vowels and 24 consonants.

If they are the same shapes but differ only in size, then they are SIMILAR shapes. Otherwise, they are simply different shapes.
