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. a red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 9.83 x 10^-6m

B. a platelet has a bigger diameter than a red blood cell by 9.83 x 10^-6m

C. a platelet has a bigger diameter than a red blood cell by 5.17 x 10^-6m

D. a red blood cell has a bigger diameter than a platelet by 5.17 x 10^-6m

To determine which blood component has a bigger diameter, we need to compare the given values:

The diameter of a red blood cell is approximately 2.33 x 10^-6 m.
The diameter of a platelet is approximately 0.0000075 m.

It is clear that the diameter of a platelet (0.0000075 m) is larger than the diameter of a red blood cell (2.33 x 10^-6 m).

So, the correct answer is:

B. a platelet has a bigger diameter than a red blood cell by 9.83 x 10^-6m.
correct!
