Question

How could you describe the size of a virus

A. larger than a parasite
B.about the size of a dime
C. smaller than bacteria
D. smaller than a proton​

Answer 1

Answer: C. smaller than bacteria

Explanation: Parasites are typically seen with the bare eye (not all, but many) or with a very low magnifying microscope, and dimes are obviously able to be seen without magnification. Protons are extremely small (in the femtometer region), and bacteria are in the micrometer region. Viruses are typically in the nanometer region, so they are larger than protons but smaller than bacteria.
