2hich of the following is smallest a protein b ribosome c procreate d virus e mitochondria.
Ribosome is larger than protein as it is formed of around 80 proteins. But if a protein is formed with the combination of a large number of smaller proteins or amino acids then they may also becomes larger than ribosomes. Size of proteins ranges between 5-50 nm, and ribosome: 25 nm. However size of a virus is 20-100 nm. Mitochondria ranges 1 micro meter diameter x 2 micro meter length. As nanometer is a smaller unit, Mitochondria is way too larger than the rest. However Procreate ( suppose it to be a protozoa , there is no component or organism calling procreate , please correct me in the comment if i am wrong) protozoa's size ranges between 1 to 10 micrometer long. Hence from the above comparison it can be found that proteins are smallest in size when considered with a general view.
Please let me know if i have wrongly taken procreate.
Thankyou
