Question

View Available Hint(s)for Part A

viruses--1 centimeter
viruses--10 micrometers
bacteria--2 micrometers
bacteria--10 nanometers

Answer 1

The correct match for microorganisms and their sizes is:

bacteria--2 micrometers

For clarification:

• Viruses typically range in size from about 20 to 300 nanometers, so both "viruses--1 centimeter" and "viruses--10 micrometers" are incorrect.
• The size of bacteria generally ranges from about 0.5 to 5 micrometers, so "bacteria--10 nanometers" is incorrect.
