How does the size of a eukaryotic organism normally compare to te size of a prokaryotic organism?

While the sizes of bacteria and the sizes of eukaryotic ogranisms both vary. However, eukaryotic cells are usually about 10 times larger than prokaryotic cells/bacteria.

Are bacteria the biggest micro organisms?

No, bacteria are not the biggest microorganisms. Some examples of larger microorganisms include fungi and protists. These microorganisms can range in size from a few micrometers to several millimeters.


Compare and contrast bacteria and protists?

Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria are generally unicellular, while protists can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists have more complex cellular structures and are typically larger in size compared to bacteria. Additionally, protists exhibit more diverse modes of nutrition and reproduction compared to bacteria.


Which are not considered to be microorganisms Helminths b. Fungi c. Bacteria d. Rickettsiae?

Helminths are not considered to be microorganisms. They are multicellular parasitic worms that are larger in size compared to bacteria, fungi, and rickettsiae which are microorganisms.


What are the differences between yeast and bacteria?

Yeast are single-celled fungi that reproduce through budding, while bacteria are single-celled microorganisms without a nucleus. Yeast are eukaryotic, meaning they have a nucleus, while bacteria are prokaryotic, lacking a defined nucleus. Additionally, yeast are typically larger in size compared to bacteria.

How does the size of a bacterium compare to the size of a bacteria?

Bacteria are all unicelular, but some live in colonies where they actually don't differ that much in cell size. 'Bacteria' is the plural form of 'bacterium'.

How many bacteria can fit on a period at the end of a sentence?

It is estimated that about 1 million bacteria can fit on the period at the end of a sentence. Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that can vary in size and shape, so this number is just an approximation.


What is the difference between prokaryotic bacteria and eukaryotic bacteria?

All bacteria are prokaryotic, there are no eukaryotic bacteria. Prokaryotic organisms (bacteria, archaea) lack membrane bound organelles like nuclei and mitochondria.One other difference is the number and configuration of chromosomes. Prokaryotes have only 1 chromosome each, and unlike the multiple, linear chromosomes of eukaryotes (like us) a prokaryote's chromosome is circular in that it has no "ends."Another difference is that most prokarya are much smaller than eukaryotic cells. Most bacteria are about the size of a mitochondrion or chloroplast, somewhat near 1/1000th the size of a eukaryotic cell. There ARE unicellular eukaryotes, like Paramecium caudatum, or the one-celled fungus Saccharomyces cerevisae (yup, that's yeast) - but despite being tiny, these aren't bacteria.
