Question

Arrange the following cellular components in order of decreasing size: hexokinase ribosome CO2 glucose

Answer 1

Answer:

Ribosome, Hexokinase, Glucose, CO2.

Ribosomes are proteins that sintetize the proteins in the cell, depending of the organism, the can size up to 30 nm. Hexokinase is an enzyme that measures approximately 50 kDa, and in its spatial conformation it sizes about 5 to 6 nm in diameter. Glucose is a molecule that sizes about 1 nm, and CO2 is another molecule that sizes 0.232 nm.
