Question

Give an example of a biological feature that measures roughly 1 m, 1 mm, 1 um, 1nm:

Answer 1

Examples of biological features include a child's height for 1 meter, a fruit fly for 1 millimeter, a human red blood cell for 1 micrometer, and cellular membranes or a hydrogen atom for 1 nanometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of a biological feature that measures roughly:

• 1 meter: The height of a small child (not a biological feature on a microscale but relatable in terms of biology and organism size).
• 1 millimeter (mm): The diameter of the head of a pin, which is about 2 mm, closely relates to a small insect like a fruit fly.
• 1 micrometer (µm): A typical human red blood cell, which is approximately 8 µm in diameter.
• 1 nanometer (nm): The thickness of cellular membranes, or the diameter of a hydrogen atom, provides examples on the nanoscale.
