A bacterium is general about 1 micron long. There are 1 million microns, or micrometers, in a meter, so the difference is about 1.5-2 million-fold.

The smallest bacterium is 0.2 micrometers across while the giant amoeba chaos chaos is 1000 micrometers across how many times larger is te giant amoeba than the smallest bacterium?

The giant amoeba is 5000 times larger than the smallest bacterium. This is calculated by dividing the size of the giant amoeba (1000 micrometers) by the size of the smallest bacterium (0.2 micrometers).


Which terrestrial planet has the largest core relative to its overall size?

Mercury has the largest core relative to its overall size among the terrestrial planets. The core makes up about 85% of Mercury's radius, compared to about 55% for Earth's core size relative to its radius.


What is the approximate size of 1 bacterium If approximately 500 of a certain type of bacteria can fit across your low-power field of vision.?

If approximately 500 bacteria can fit across your low-power field of vision, and assuming that field is about 1 millimeter wide, each bacterium would be approximately 2 micrometers (μm) in size. This is a typical size for many bacteria, as they generally range from 0.5 to 5 μm in diameter. Thus, the average size of one bacterium in this scenario would be around 2 μm.


What does a animal cell have that the bacterium cell doesn't have?
