Mycoplasmas, the smallest cells, are only (i) `mu` m in length while bacteria could be (ii) `mu` m. Among multicellular organisms, human red blood cells are about (iii) `mu` m in diameter. Identify (i), (ii), and (iii).

A

`|{:("(i)","(ii)","(iii)"),(0.5,5-7,7):}|`

B

`|{:("(i)","(ii)","(iii)"),(0.3,3-7,9):}|`

C

`|{:("(i)","(ii)","(iii)"),(0.3,3-5,4):}|`

D

`|{:("(i)","(ii)","(iii)"),(0.3,3-5,7):}|`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the sizes of mycoplasmas, bacteria, and human red blood cells based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the size of Mycoplasmas (i)**: - Mycoplasmas are known to be the smallest cells. Their size is approximately **0.3 micrometers** in length. - Therefore, for (i), we fill in **0.3**. 2. **Identify the size of Bacteria (ii)**: - Bacteria are larger than mycoplasmas. The typical size range for bacteria is about **3 to 5 micrometers** in length. - Thus, for (ii), we fill in **3 to 5**. 3. **Identify the size of Human Red Blood Cells (iii)**: - Human red blood cells (RBCs) are larger than both mycoplasmas and bacteria. The average diameter of human RBCs is about **7 micrometers**. - Hence, for (iii), we fill in **7**. ### Final Answers: - (i) = 0.3 - (ii) = 3 to 5 - (iii) = 7 ### Summary of the filled blanks: - Mycoplasmas are only **0.3** micrometers in length. - Bacteria could be **3 to 5** micrometers. - Human red blood cells are about **7** micrometers in diameter.
