One molecule of the spherically shaped, oxygen‑carrying protein in red blood cells, hemoglobin, has a diameter of 5.5 nm 5.5 nm . What is this diameter in meters?

Respuesta :

Answer : The diameter in meters is, [tex]5.5\times 10^{-9}m[/tex]

Explanation :

As we are given that the diameter of red blood cells is, 5.5 nm. Now we have to convert it into meter.

The conversion used from nanometer to meter is:

[tex]1nm=10^{-9}m[/tex]

As, [tex]1nm=10^{-9}m[/tex]

So, [tex]5.5nm=\frac{5.5nm}{1nm}\times 10^{-9}m=5.5\times 10^{-9}m[/tex]

Thus, the diameter in meters is, [tex]5.5\times 10^{-9}m[/tex]
