Answer :

The animals are categorized into 2 groups - eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The microbes like bacteria are coming under prokaryotes. They are unicellular organisms and without a true nucleus.

Viruses are the connecting link between the living and non - living. They are smaller than bacteria. The microbes less than 100 micrometer can't be seen by the naked eye. They can only visible under a microscope.

Viruses like polio, flu virus sizes are 10nm. But some of the viruses are also less than 10nm. The size of bacteria is 1 micrometer. The viruses are 10 times smaller than the bacteria.

The eukaryotic organisms are more advanced and multicellular. Their cell size is larger than bacteria and viruses. The red blood cells under the light microscope are 8 micrometers. The typical animal cells like sperm are 60 micrometers and a skin cell is 30 micrometers. The plant cell for example pollen is 90 micrometers.

The eukaryotic cells sizes are more than prokaryotes like bacteria.

Earth is 150 million kilometers from the sun, and the solar "wind" travels at about 400 km/sec. How long does it take particles
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 4.34 days.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from the sun to earth = 150 million kilometer

= 1500,00,000 km

The solar "wind" travels = 400 km/sec

= 400*60*60 km/ hour

= 1440000 km/hour

Then time = distance/speed

time = 1500,00,000 km/1440000 km/hour

time = 104.166666667 hours

time = 104.166666667/24

=  4.34 days.
