Which among the following is smallest in size ? Bacteria, Fungi, Viruses, Algae *
Answers
Answer: Viruses do not have the capacity to self replicate and they are definitely smaller in size than the body on which they parasitize. Bacteria are also small but larger than virus. Then comes Algae and largest of the lot is Fungi. Hence if we arrange them in ascending order it would look like viruses, bacteria, algae and fungi.
Explanation: Please mark me as the brainliest .
Required Answer:-
Bacteria-
Bacteria-Mycoplasma genitalium a parasitic bacterium which lives in the primate bladder, waste disposal organs, genital, and respiratory tracts, is thought to be the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction .
Bacteria-Mycoplasma genitalium a parasitic bacterium which lives in the primate bladder, waste disposal organs, genital, and respiratory tracts, is thought to be the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction .With a size of approximately 200 to 300 nm, M. genitalium is an ultramicrobacterium, smaller than other small bacteria, including rickettsia and chlamydia.
Algae:
Eukaryotes. Prasinophyte algae of the genus Ostreococcus are the smallest free-living eukaryote. The single cell of an Ostreococcus measures 0.8 μm across.
Fungi:
A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, those being Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista
Virus-
The smallest viruses in terms of genome size are single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses.
The smallest viruses in terms of genome size are single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses.Porcine circovirus type 1 has a genome of only 1759 nucleotide and a capsid diameter of only 17nm.
