What units would you use to measure a virus (manometers, micrometers, or millimeters?)

What units would you use to measure a red blood cell (manometers, micrometers, or millimeters?)

Respuesta :

  • Viruses are infectious particles made of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and protein. Viruses are 100 times smaller than the size of bacteria. Virus is measured in nanometers.
  • Red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes are disc-shaped, enucleated cells present in the blood which contain hemoglobin. RBC is measured in micrometers.    

The viruses are measured in Nanometer while Red blood cells are measured in Micrometer.

  • The viruses are very tiny particals that are in the range of  [tex]\rm \bold {10^-^9} - \bold {10^-^7} \bold {meter}[/tex] .
  • The RBCs are anucleated, hemoglobin containing cells quite bigger than viruses. They are in the range of [tex]\rm \bold {10^-^6} - \bold {10^-^5} \bold {meter}[/tex].

Hence, we can conclude that the viruses are measured in Nanometer while Red blood cells are measured in Micrometer.
