Diameter of E. coli is_ to_ micrometer:

Correct answer: A. 0.5-1.5

  • A. 0.5-1.5
  • B. 2.0-4.0
  • C. 1.1-1.6
  • D. 2.0-6.0

Explanation

The diameter of E. coli falls within the range of 1.1 to 1.5 micrometers. E. coli is a bacterium, and its typical size can vary depending on various factors such as growth conditions and strain. On average, E. coli cells are approximately 1-2 micrometers long and 0.5-1 micrometer in diameter. The given range of 1.1-1.5 micrometers falls within the expected diameter range of E. coli. In summary, option A) 1.1-1.5 micrometers is the most accurate choice for the diameter range of E. coli, based on its typical size.
