Cells can vary between 1 micrometer (μm) and hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Within a cell, a DNA double helix is approximately 10 nanometers (nm) wide, whereas the cellular organelle called a nucleus that encloses this DNA can be approximately 1000 times bigger (about 10 μm).
What is the average size of a cell?
The average size of a human cell is about 100 μm in diameter. The smallest of which is the red blood cell, and it also has not nucleus.
How big is a single cell?
These cells have a characteristic biconcave disk shape with a depression where the nucleus was lost in maturation and have a corresponding diameter of 7-8 µm (BNID 100509) and a volume of ≈100 µm3 (BNID 101711, 101713).
