Question

1. x chromosome: 7μm
2. hemoglobin: 6.5nm
3. carbon atom: 340pm
4. amoeba: 500μm

bonus! what is the largest item in the scale? what is the smallest?
coffee bean, carbon atom
virtual lab: comparing sizes
find the objects listed below in the size & scale tool and place them in the cor
order on the line below.
sesame seed
measles virus
paramecium
mitochondrion
water molecule
rhinovirus
antibody
bakers ye

Explanation:

To solve the problem of ordering the objects by size, we analyze the typical sizes of each:

1. Water Molecule: ~0.27 nm (very small, molecular level).
2. Antibody: ~10 nm (protein, larger than small molecules).
3. Rhinovirus/Measles Virus: ~30 nm (viruses, larger than antibodies).
4. Mitochondrion: ~1–10 μm (organelle, larger than viruses).
5. Parametcium: ~50–300 μm (single - celled eukaryote, larger than organelles).
6. Sesame Seed: ~0.5–3 mm (macroscopic, larger than single - celled organisms).
7. Baker’s Yeast (implied, if included): ~5–10 μm (but smaller than Parametcium, larger than Mitochondrion).

Order from smallest to largest:

Water Molecule → Antibody → Rhinovirus/Measles Virus → Mitochondrion → Baker’s Yeast → Parametcium → Sesame Seed

(Note: If “Baker’s Yeast” is fully visible, insert it between Mitochondrion and Parametcium based on typical size ~5–10 μm.)
