As part of their research on cell reproduction, Ms. Kelly's biology class designed various experiments to determine the best con
ditions for budding, or asexual reproduction, in common yeast cells. One group of students placed yeast in a test tube with warm water and table sugar as a source of food. They used a light microscope to observe the yeast cells. One student noted that after the cells grew for a while, a bud formed. Ms. Kelly asked approximately how large the yeast cells were when they began budding. Which is the MOST LIKELY unit for measuring the size of a typical mature yeast cell?
The most likely unit for measuring the size of a typical mature yeast cell is micrometer. Micrometer (μm) or micron is unit of length which is 10⁶ times smaller than meter. Yeast cells are very small, usually yeast cells are 3-4 μm, but some species can reach size of 40 <span>μm.</span>
Yeast Cells are one of the most simple organisms that exist in the Eukaryot branch, this is very important because by studying them we can learn a lot about Eukaryotic cell body, they usually are about 2-4 µm or micrometers but scientis have found yeast cells that measure up to 40-60 µm, the best unit to measure them would be micro meeters, which would basically be 1x10^-6 meters.
The boiling point of tap water is 100 degrees C (not Farenheit).With a tablespoon of salt, it would be slightly warmer than that. I hope I helped. God bless!
