Sperm cell is smallest and smooth cell is largest
Sperm cells have the smallest diameter of the cells mentioned if measuring at the head. However, the flagellum makes the cell appear very long.
The smallest type of cell in the world is the mycoplasma bacterium with only a diameter of 10µm (micrometre).
In the Human Body Sperm cells would be the smallest and Smallest cell is a type of bacteria known as mycoplasma its diameter is 0.0001 mm.
The smallest known eukaryotic cells are around 1-2 micrometers in diameter. Eukaryotic cells can vary widely in size, but some unicellular organisms like certain protists and algae can have very small diameters.
Prokaryotes are the smallest and simplest cells.
what organelles are you referring to? Plants and animal cells each have a few organelles that the other one doesn't. for instant, plant cells have cell wall, but animal cells don't. and animal cells have centrioles but plant cells don't....
Cytopathic effect refers to structural changes in cells due to viral infection. It can be observed microscopically as cell rounding, detachment, syncytia formation, or inclusion body formation. To induce cytopathic effect in cell culture, cells are infected with the virus of interest and monitored for characteristic changes over time.
First observed cells were plant cells. Robert Hook observed cork cells.
Saccharomyces, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can be microscopically identified by its round to oval shape and relatively large size compared to many bacteria, typically measuring about 5-10 micrometers in diameter. It often appears as single cells or in clusters known as budding yeasts, where daughter cells remain attached to the parent cell. In contrast, bacterial cells are generally smaller and can exhibit a variety of shapes such as rods, spheres, or spirals. Additionally, Saccharomyces displays a distinct cell wall structure composed of chitin and glucan, which differs from the peptidoglycan found in bacterial cell walls.
No, nerve cells, also known as neurons, are not the smallest cells. The smallest cells are bacteria-like cells known as mycoplasma. Nerve cells are much larger in size compared to mycoplasma cells.
A virus is smaller than a skin cell. Skin cells are typically 30-40 micrometers in diameter, while viruses can range in size from 20 to 300 nanometers. Thus, viruses are significantly smaller than skin cells.
mycoplasm which is a bacterial cell and human sperm cell are the smallest cells
