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 else can I help you with?
What is a particle with a negative change?
Electron...but that's for a cell
How does a cell expel large particles?
EXOCYTOSIS-When a large particle must be removed from the cell, the cell uses a different process. In EXOCYTOSIS,vesicles are formed at the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi complex and carry the particles to the cell membrane.ENDOCYTOSIS-In ENDOCYTOSIS, the cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicle. This is how large particles, such as other cells, can be brought into a cell.They both require the use of ATP though, like active transport. However, passive transport doesn't require ATP.Phagocytosis is the cell that takes in large particles. This is used in biology.
What particle can exist alone and is smaller than any other?
A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true. HOPE THIS HELPS
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destroys it?
A virus is a microscopic being that can invade and destroy a cell. Viruses have some, but not all, of the characteristics of living things.
Is a red blood cell smaller than 1 millimeter?
A LOT!!!!!!!!!
A cell has formed a food vacuole as it ingested a food particle Which of the following events is associated with the breakdown of that food particle?
Digestion of the food particle occurs in a vesicle enclosed by a membrane that separates the digestion from the cytoplasm
Define the step of endocytosis?
the process by which a cell uses energy to surround a particle and enclose the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell is called endocytosis: the cell comes into contact with particle the cell membrane begins to wrap around the particle then the particle is bought into the cell
What is a particle with dna but no nucleus or cell wall?
A virus is a particle with DNA but no nucleus or cell wall.
Which particle is smaller: a proton or a quark?
A quark is smaller than a proton.
Is phagocytosis active or passive transport?
Phagocytosis is considered an active process because it requires energy expenditure by the cell to engulf and digest particles such as bacteria or cell debris. It is a form of endocytosis where the cell engulfs solid particles rather than fluids.
What is the transport of engulfing?
It is when the cell engulfs a particle. Once the particle is engulfed it lets it go into the cell forming a vacuole.
What is transport of engulfing?
It is when the cell engulfs a particle. Once the particle is engulfed it lets it go into the cell forming a vacuole.
What is the sac formed around a large particle to allow a cell to take in or remove the particle?
Phagosome is the name of the sac formed around a large particle that allows a cell to take in or remove the particle. Once engulfed by the cell, the phagosome can merge with lysosomes to break down the particle.
The smaller the soil particle the coarser it will be?
false
What is the smaller part of a cell?
The smaller part of the cell
When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?
The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".
Is there any particle that is smaller than a atom?
quark
