The number of times the bacterial cell is smaller than the amoeba cell is 1.6 * 10^-10

How many times smaller is the bacterial cell than the amoeba cell?

The given parameters are:

Bacteria cell = 4 x 10^-6 m

Amoeba cell = 2.5 x 10^4 m

The number of times (n) is calculated as

n = Amoeba cell/Bacteria cell

This gives

n = (4 x 10^-6 m)/(2.5 x 10^4 m)

This gives

n = 1.6 * 10^-10

Hence, the number of times the bacterial cell is smaller than the amoeba cell is 1.6 * 10^-10
