1.
What aspect of a cell's physical makeup increases gradually as it gets smaller?
2. How could Bacteria and Archaea's tiny size and haploid genome hasten their evolution?
3. How small a cell can get? Justify.
4. If a bacterial cell was enclosed in a capsule, could it do without a cell wall? Why, or why not?
