Question

A mitochondrion has a diameter of about 0.00000031 meter. The diameter of a chloroplast is about 3 times that of the mitochondrion. What is the approximate diameter of the chloroplast?

Answer 1

given:

the diameter of the mitochondrion= 0.00000031 meter.

to find:

the diameter of the chloroplast.

solution:

3×mito= chloroplast

3 × 0.00000031

=0.00000091

= chloroplast

= 9.1 × 10^-7m

the imprecise diameter of the chloroplast is 9.1 × 10^-7m.
