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

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]5.5*10x^{-9}m[/tex]

Explanation:

As you have the diameter of the sphere in nanometers (nm), you need to use de conversion factor to find the diameter in meters (m):

First you should put the quantity that you want to convert with its respective units:

[tex]Diameter=5.5nm[/tex]

Then you put the conversion factor, always you should put the same unit that you want to convert in the denominator:

Diameter = [tex]5.5nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1nm}[/tex]

And finally, you should multiply and/or divide the quantities:

Diameter = [tex]5.5*10^{-9}m[/tex]
