To find the difference between the diameters of Cell P and Cell Q, you would use the subtraction operation. Specifically, since Cell P has a larger diameter than Cell Q, the correct expression to find the difference would be:
\[ (5.0 \times 10^{-4}) - (3.0 \times 10^{-5}) \]
So, the correct response is:
(5.0×10−4)−(3.0×10−5) (open paren 5 point 0 times 10 to the negative 4 power close paren minus open paren 3 point 0 times 10 to the negative 5 power close paren).
