The size of Pleuropneumonia-like Organism ( PPLO ) is:

1. $0.02\mu \mathrm{m}$
2. $1-2\mu \mathrm{m}$
3. $10-20\mu \mathrm{m}$
4. $0.1\mu \mathrm{m}$

Solution

The prokaryotic cells are represented by bacteria, blue-green algae, mycoplasma and PPLO (Pleuro Pneumonia Like Organisms). They are generally smaller and multiply more rapidly than the eukaryotic cells.
Size of PPLO is about \(0.1 \mu \mathrm{m}\).
