Answer:
This question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
A cell biologist measures the volume of a bacteria cell. The volume is 6.741*10^-10 L. What is the volume in picoliters? Write your answer as a decimal.
The answer is 674.1 picolitres (pL)
Explanation:
According to the question, the volume of a bacterial cell is measured by a cell biologist to be 6.741*10^-10 L i.e. 0.0000000006741L (expanded form)
The volume in picolitres and Litres are interconvertible.
1 × 10^12 picolitres = 1L
Hence, 6.741 × 10^-10 L will be 6.741 × 10^-10 × 10^12 pL
= 6.741 × 10^ (12-10)
= 6.741 × 10^ (2)
= 6.741 × 10^2
= 674.1
Hence, the volume of the bacteria cell in 6.741 × 10^-10 L is 674.1 pL
