Capitolo 4, Problema 2
A nanometer is _______ than a micrometer.
a. 10 times larger
b. 10 times smaller
c. 1000 times larger
d. 1000 times smaller
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the units involved: a nanometer (nm) and a micrometer (µm) are both units of length used to measure very small distances, commonly in microbiology and nanotechnology.
Recall the relationship between nanometers and micrometers: 1 micrometer (µm) is equal to 1000 nanometers (nm). This means that a micrometer is larger than a nanometer.
Analyze the question: since 1 µm = 1000 nm, a nanometer is smaller than a micrometer by a factor of 1000.
Translate this relationship into the options given: the nanometer is 1000 times smaller than a micrometer.
Therefore, the correct choice corresponds to the statement that a nanometer is 1000 times smaller than a micrometer.

Units of Measurement in Microscopy
Nanometers and micrometers are units used to measure very small lengths, especially in microbiology. A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter, while a micrometer (µm) is one millionth of a meter. Understanding these units helps in comparing sizes of microorganisms and cellular structures.

Conversion Between Nanometers and Micrometers
To convert between nanometers and micrometers, remember that 1 micrometer equals 1000 nanometers. This means a nanometer is 1000 times smaller than a micrometer. This conversion is essential for interpreting microscopic measurements accurately.
