How long is a Mitochondria in micrometers?
A
0.5micrometers
B
1.0micrometers
C
1.5micrometers
D
2.0micrometers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A ribosome is much smaller than the nucleus, only about 0.02 micrometer in diameter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Although the mitochondrial tubules can be several m long, their diameter is typically between 200 and 700 nm, which is around the diffraction limit that restricts the attainable resolution in classical (fluorescence) microscopy (18; 19).
