Approximate size of a typical nucleus is
Options
- A10⁻⁵ m
- B10^6 m
- C10^5 m
- D10⁻⁶ m
Correct answer
D. 10⁻⁶ m
Step-by-step solution
The nucleus is a smaller structure enclosed within the cell. For order-of-magnitude comparisons, its typical size is approximated as 1 micrometer ( 1 m). Converting this value to meters: 1 m = 10⁻⁶ m. Therefore, the approximate size of a typical cell nucleus is 10⁻⁶ m. Answer: 10⁻⁶ m
