Platelets and red blood cells are components of the blood. A typical platelet and red blood cell have diameters of approximately 2.33 * 10 ^ - 6 * m and 0.0000075 m, respectively. Which blood component has a bigger diameter, and approximately by how much? (1 point)
A red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 9.83 * 10 ^ - 4 .
A platelet has a bigger diameter than a red blood cell by 9.83 * 10 ^ - 9 .
A red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 5.17 * 10 ^ - 6 m.
A platelet has a bigger diameter than a red blood cell by 5.17 * 10 ^ - 6 m.
I wish someone would call me good boy...
anyways the answers are:
1. 4.5866 × 10^−5
2. $2.9219 × 10^13
3. 3.2×10^−11 m
4. A red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 5.17 × 10^−6 m.
5. 5×10^7
A red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 5.17 * 10 ^ - 6 m.
A red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 9.83 * 10 ^ - 4 m.
Try again
Good boy
Thank you! I'm glad I could help.
To determine which blood component has a bigger diameter and by approximately how much, we need to compare the diameters of a platelet and a red blood cell.
Given that a typical platelet has a diameter of 2.33 * 10^-6 m and a red blood cell has a diameter of 0.0000075 m, we can compare the two values.
If we subtract the diameter of the platelet from the diameter of the red blood cell, we get:
0.0000075 m - 2.33 * 10^-6 m = 5.17 * 10^-6 m
Therefore, a red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by approximately 5.17 * 10^-6 m.
