    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest_organisms

    The smallest penguin species is the little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor), which stands around 30–33 cm (12–13 in) tall and weighs 1.2–1.3 kg (2.6–2.9 lb). [73] The smallest bird of prey is the Black-thighed falconet (Microhierax fringillarius), with a wingspan of 27–32 centimetres (11–13 in), roughly the size of a sparrow. [74]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobe

    A nanobe (/ ˈ n æ n oʊ b, ˈ n eɪ n oʊ b /) [1] is a tiny filamental structure first found in some rocks and sediments.Some scientists hypothesize that nanobes are the smallest form of life, ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ the size of the smallest known bacteria.

  4. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.

    20 nm – length of a nanobe, could be one of the smallest forms of life; 20–80 nm – thickness of cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria [75] 20 nm – thickness of bacterial flagellum [76] 22 nm – the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured circa 2011–2012; 22 nm – smallest feature size of production microprocessors in ...

  6. Life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life

    The cell is the structural and functional unit of life. Smaller organisms, including prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), consist of small single cells. Larger organisms, mainly eukaryotes, can consist of single cells or may be multicellular with more complex structure. Life is only known to exist on Earth but extraterrestrial life is thought ...

  7. Unicellular organism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicellular_organism

    Unicellular organisms are thought to be the oldest form of life, with early protocells possibly emerging 3.5–4.1 billion years ago. [1] [2] Although some prokaryotes live in colonies, they are not specialised cells with differing functions. These organisms live together, and each cell must carry out all life processes to survive.
