Much larger, prions are just proteins containing no nucleic acids or lipid bilayer.
The largest amoeba is more than 2,500 times larger than the smallest bacterium.
No, a bacteriophage is generally smaller than a bacterium. Bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria, typically range from about 20 to 300 nanometers in size, while bacteria usually range from about 0.5 to 5 micrometers. This means that bacteria are significantly larger than bacteriophages.
The giant amoeba is 5000 times larger than the smallest bacterium. This is calculated by dividing the size of the giant amoeba (1000 micrometers) by the size of the smallest bacterium (0.2 micrometers).
Prions are unique because they are infectious proteins that can cause normal proteins in the brain to misfold and become prions themselves. This can lead to a buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain, resulting in neurodegenerative diseases like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow disease. Prions are also unique because they lack genetic material and can cause disease without the presence of a traditional pathogen like a virus or bacterium.

Bacteria are in general ranges from 0.5 to 5µm (micrometer) in length. blood cells ranges from 7-12 µm. so blood cells are bigger than Bacterium.

yes
Bacteria cells. They are the smallest living thing on Earth (known to man).
5000 times larger 5000 times larger
no almost nothing is smaller than bacterium
Some microbes that are considerably larger than the average microbe are: the Filoviridae virus, the thiomargarita namibiensis bacterium and the armillaria ostoyae fungus.
No, DNA is not found in any prions. Prions are just protein - they don't contain a nucleic acid.
A yeast cell is the biggest followed by the bacteruim then the virus The virus is easily the smallest it can be up to 1/10000th of the size of a bacterium! A bacteria is about 1.8 millionth of a meter a yeast cell is about a 12 millionth of a meter which means the yeast cell is more than 6x larger than a bacterium!
No, cooking does not destroy or disable prions. If you were able to cook a meat that contains prions to the point where the prions were disabled, the meat would be rendered inedible.You can use chemicals mixed with heat to destroy prions, but that's not a process you would want to subject your food to.
