Question

Group the following into the appropriate range of measurement.

Answer 1

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 $( 10^3 \ \ to \ \ 10^{10})$, 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.
