Which is bigger in size: a ragweed pollen grain or an influenza virus particle?

Answer;

-An influenza virus particle

Explanation;

-An influenza virus particle is bigger in size compared to a ragweed pollen grain. Influenza virus particles have a size of 80–120 nm. However, the length of each particle varies considerably, owing to the fact that influenza is pleomorphic, and can be in excess of many tens of micrometers, producing filamentous virions.

-On the other hand, researchers found that ragweed pollen grains release SPPs in the size range of 0.5–4.5 μm, small enough to reach lower airways.

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.
