Question

MINDTAP From Cengage Download rning Activity: The Cell: An Overview 1. The relative sizes of things The following table lists various objects found at the molecular and cellular scales. The second column gives the average length of each object; the third column describes the approximate size of the object if it were enlarged 5 000 000 times. In the first column, complete the blanks to correctly order the relative sizes of the four missing objects. Object Average length 100 um- 10 000 m | 25 m-40000 Enlarged 5 000 000x A sports arena A skyscraper A carbon (C) atom A typical protein molecule A Paramecium cell A typical bacterial cell 5 um 200 000 2 pm 500 000 10nm = 100 000 000 m 1 nm 1 000 000 000 A whale A chloroplast A bus A golf ball A molecule of glucose m A pea 0.1nm A poppy seed 10 000 000 000 m protein molecules could line up end to end within a typical Given these numbers, you can estimate that animal cell.

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is length of Paramoecium.

Length of average protein= 2nm

diameter of animal cell= 1 micrometer

so, numberr of proteins= 1000/2

= 500

The first option is the correct one

Proteins are organic molecules essential to life, hence, living, while carbon atoms are not considered living.
