Examining the figure, how many orders of magnitude larger is a person than a bacterial cell?

1 answer:

8 0

Well you did not show the figure, but I can show you how to do it.

Suppose the person is 6 feet tall and the bacteria cell is 1 micrometer in length.

So, put both magnitudes in the same units. I will use meter.

Person: 6 feet * 0.3048 m / foot = 1.8288 m, which in orders of magnitud is about 2 m

Bacteria cell: 1 micrometer * 1 m / 1,000,000 micrometer = 1 * 10 ^ -6 m.

Now divide: 2m / 10^ -6 m = 2,000,000

So a person is about 2 million times larger than a bacteria cell.

If the numbers in your figure are different you can use the same method to get a new result according to your figure.

Explanation:

In a reaction, the reactants are usually not present in exact stoichiometric amounts, that is, in the proportions indicated by the balanced equation. Frequently a large excess of one reactant is supplied to ensure that the more expensive reactant is completely converted to the desired product. Consequently, some reactant will be left over at the end of the reaction. The reactant used up first in a reaction is called the limiting reagent, because the maximum amount of product formed depends on how much of this reactant was originally present. When this reactant is used up, no more product can be formed.
