Scientists use metric prefixes to simplify the expression of measurements and to convey large or small quantities more clearly. These prefixes denote specific powers of ten, allowing for easier calculations and comparisons across different magnitudes. By standardizing units, metric prefixes facilitate communication and understanding within the scientific community, ensuring consistency in data reporting and interpretation.
1000
The appropriate metric prefix is centi- for 10-2
Most scientist use the metric system
1000 kilograms = 1 tonne. For larger amounts, either kilograms or tonnes are usually used - it is not common to use the usual metric prefixes "Mega", "Giga"
The metric system uses conversion factors of 10 for all units. Instead of remembering all the different conversions between each unit (4quarts=1gallon, 5280feet=1mile, ect), you only have to memorize a couple of prefixes. The (common) metric prefixes are Milli=1000th Centi=100th Deci=10th Deka=x10 Hecto=x100 Kilo=x1000
Scientist use the metric system. All science in the metric system.
It's called the metric system.

Oh yes, scientists only use metric SI units.
Is the metric system.
meter
All scientists use the metric unit of measurements because it is the most accurate.
Scientist do use the metric system, they may refer to it sometimes as the SI system. Only three countries in the world haven't fully converted to metric, Liberia, Myanmar(Burma), and U.S.A, and even in these countries most scientist use the SI system.
Mm
Scientist usually use the metric system in their work because it is easy to use, because it is based on multiples of 10
