Explanation / Answer

According to the Chegg guidelines I'll answer the first question when more than one question is posted. Post them separately to get the answers.

6) The diameter of cell is 30 micrometer.

A) 1 micrometer = 10-3 mm.

So, 30 micrometer = 0.03 mm.

B)

1 micrometer = 103 mm

So, 30 micrometer = 30 x 103nm.
