If the pointer with the cell is 10 micrometers in length then about how wide is this cell?
measure it!
If a cell measures 10 micrometers at 100x what is its length at 200x?
Length doesn't change when magnification does. It's similar to looking through a magnifying glass; though it appears larger, the actual length of the object doesn't change
How are plant animal and bacterial cells alike and different?
The cells of plants and animals are extensively larger than the cells of bacteria. Animal cells average about 10 to 30 micrometers, plant cells between 10 and 100 micrometers while bacterial cells are 2 micrometers.
How big is a bacteria compared to a human cell?
The size of a typical bacterial cell is 0.5-5.0 micrometers, a average human cell is 10 micrometers.
What is the size in micrometers of a bacteria cell?
It all depends on the cell type; Prokaryotic cells range from 1-10 micrometers and eukaryotic cells range from 10 to 100 micrometers
If the pointer with the cell is 10 micrometers in length then about how wide is this cell?
measure it!
What is the diameter of a cell?
it depends on the cell type, but cells are on the order of hundreds of micrometers
How big roughly is a plant cell?
15 micrometers or .015 millimeters
How many micrometers is human blood cell?
7.5 micrometers
How does the blood cell size compare to E coli bacteria?
E coli bacterium are about 2.0 micrometers in length and .25 to 1 micrometer in diameter. In comparison, a red blood cell is about six to eight micrometers in diameter and a thickness that ranges from .8 to 1 micrometer in the center to 2 to 2.5 micrometers at the thickest point.
Are plant cells usually smaller or larger than animal cells?
Plant cells can be larger than animal cells. The normal range for an animal cell varies from 10 to 30 micrometers while that for a plant cell stretches from 10 to 100 micrometers. Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in animal cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles
Explain the shape of a root hair cell?
A root hair cell is a tubular branch outgrowth at the plant's roots. It approximately measures between 5 and 17 micrometers.
What is the length of paramecium in um?
A paramecium cell ranges from about 50 to 350 µm in length
How do you measure the cell of an animal?
Micrometers
What do cell do when they start to get too large?
All right, think about the cell as a cube. The only way the cell can get nutrients is through its sides, right? After all, it has to absorb nutrients through the plasma membrane. So, the cell's SURFACE AREA is important in determining how quickly it can uptake nutrients. However, the ENTIRE cell needs the nutrients, so they have to be distributed over the cell's VOLUME. Therefore, the surface area to volume ratio gives an indication of how well a cell will survive. Now, let's imagine that our cubic cell is 1 micrometer on a side. Since a cube has six sides, its total surface area is 6 times the area of one side. Area = length x width, so one side is 1 micrometer x 1 micrometer = 1 micrometer². Now multiply that by six sides and you get a total surface area of 6 micrometers². The cell's VOLUME is its length x width x height, or 1 micrometer³. So its surface area to volume ratio is 6 micrometers²:1 micrometer³. Now let's say the cell grows so that it is 2 micrometers on a side. Now the area of a side is 2 micrometers x 2 micrometers = 4 micrometers². Its total surface area is 24 micrometers². However, the cell's volume is 2 micrometers x 2 micrometers x 2 micrometers = 8 micrometers³. The surface area to volume ratio is now 24 micrometers²:8 micrometers³, which reduces to 3:1. The surface area to volume ratio decreases as the cell grows. If the cell gets too large, it won't have sufficient surface area to meets its nutritional needs. So, cells have to divide every so often to keep their overall volume small relative to the surface area. I hope that helps!
How does the blood cell size compare to dust mites size?
Blood cell is 20 micrometers, and a dute mite is 200 micrometers
The smallest plant in the world?
The smallest plant is the uni-cellular Fresh Water Green Algae (Chlamydomonas genus).
