Viruses are, by far, the smallest. Bacteria and yeast cells have a complete cell structure,

including the nucleus and all of the other parts of a cell. Viruses don't, so they have to inject their 'material' (I don't remember the name of the inside the virus) into the 'host' cell and force it to duplicate the viruses, which kills the host cell.

Put in order from smallest to largest bacteria yeast protozoa?

In terms of size, the order from smallest to largest is bacteria, yeast, and then protozoa. Bacteria typically range from 0.2 to 10 micrometers in size, while yeast cells are usually around 5 to 30 micrometers. Protozoa are generally larger, ranging from about 10 to several hundred micrometers. This size hierarchy reflects the differences in cellular complexity and structure among these microorganisms.
