Answer:
Hydrogen atom & glucose molecule --- atomic.
Herpesvirus, DNA --- ultramicroscopic.
Protozoan, Rickettsia - microscopic.
Roundworm and algae --- macroscopic
Explanation:
1) Hydrogen atom & glucose molecule --- atomic.
The atomic size level, which interacts with atoms as well as small molecules, is much lower than the ultramicroscopic range.
2) Herpesvirus, DNA --- ultramicroscopic.
Ultramicroscopic particles are very tiny structures that cannot be seen using a conventional optical microscope, necessitating the use of an electron microscope. Viruses and DNA falls into this group since they are much smaller than tiny species like bacteria.
3) Protozoan, Rickettsia - microscopic.
Microscopic species are much smaller than macroscopic organisms because they cannot be observed by the naked human eye and must be viewed through a microscope. The size range for microscopic particles is , which contains protozoans and Rickettsia (a gram-negative, non-motile bacteria genus).
4) Roundworm and algae --- macroscopic
Naked eyes can see macroscopic organisms; for example, several types of circular worms and algae can be seen by them.
