  • What are the different units of length mentioned in the video?
    Nanometers, micrometers, millimeters, meters, and kilometers
  • Why do we use different units of length?
    Each unit is 1,000 times bigger or smaller than the one next to it
  • How do you convert 6 millimeters to meters?
    By dividing 6 by 1000 to get 0.006 meters
  • What is the relationship between 6 millimeters and 0.006 meters?
    They represent the same value, just in different units
  • How do you convert 0.006 meters to kilometers?
    By dividing 0.006 by 1000 to get 0.000006 kilometers
  • How do you convert 6 millimeters to micrometers?
    By multiplying 6 by 1000 to get 6000 micrometers
  • What is the conversion of 6 millimeters to nanometers?
    By multiplying 6 by 1,000,000 to get 6,000,000 nanometers
  • How do you convert 340 nanometers to millimeters?
    By dividing it by 1,000,000 or by converting to micrometers first
  • What is the conversion of 340 nanometers to micrometers?
    By dividing 340 by 1000 to get 0.34 micrometers
  • What is the conversion of 0.34 micrometers to millimeters?
    By dividing 0.34 by 1000 to get 0.00034 millimeters
  • What is the size range of atoms?
    Atoms range from about 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers across
  • How big are medium-sized molecules like glucose?
    About one nanometer across
  • What is the approximate size of viruses?
    Viruses are about 100 nanometers across
  • What is the size of small cells like bacteria?
    Small cells like bacteria are about 1 micrometer across
  • What is the size range of most animal and plant cells?
    Most animal and plant cells are in the 10 to 100 micrometer range

    An electron microscope can see down to about 0.1 nanometers
  • What is the conversion relationship between centimeters, millimeters, and meters?
    • 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
    • 100 centimeters = 1 meter
    • To convert from centimeters to meters, divide by 100
    • To convert from centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10
  • How do you convert 30 centimeters to nanometers?
    By multiplying 30 by 10 to get 300 millimeters, then by 1000 to get 300,000 micrometers, and then by 1000 again to get 300 million nanometers
  • What is the final conversion of 30 centimeters to nanometers?
    30 centimeters converts to 300 million nanometers or 3×1083 \times 10^8 nanometers
