Answer is C. The man is twenty thousand (2 x 10⁴) times larger than the paramecium.

1 meter (m) = 10⁶ micrometers (µm)

Therefore, 1.7 m = 1.7 × 10⁶ µm

Thus, the length of the man compared to the length of the paramecium will be

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2× 10⁴ .  

Therefore, length of the man is  2× 10⁴ times larger than the length of the paramecium.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The given question requires the knowledge of the standard unit meter. By convention, the meter can be converted into micrometers in order to come to the conclusion. 1 meter is equal to 10⁶ micrometers. Thus, 1.7 meters = 1.7 × 10⁶ micrometers.  

There is a need to divide the height of the man with the length of the paramecium, which is 85 micrometers long.  

Therefore, the length of the man in comparison to the length of the paramecium will be:  

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2 × 10⁴

Hence, the length of the man is 2 × 10⁴ times larger in comparison to the length of the paramecium.

When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms
NikAS [45]
When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms an anion that has a larger radius. An anion always has a larger radius than a neutral atom of the same element. This is because more electrons cause greater repulsion between its nucleus and electrons, making the electrons move farther away from the center.

Which one of the following is NOT a characteristic of the carrying
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em> The carrying capacity is determined only by the density-dependent factors.</em>

Explanation:

The maximum number of organisms of a particular species that an environment can hold is known as the carrying capacity of that environment. The carrying capacity depends on density-dependent factors as well as density- independent factors like weather, sunlight etc.

Beyond the carrying capacity, the organisms will begin to fight with each other for limited resources. The environment will become unstable as the resources will be scarce and individuals will be more.
