This question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:

A cell biologist measures the volume of a bacteria cell. The volume is 6.741*10^-10 L. What is the volume in picoliters? Write your answer as a decimal.

The answer is 674.1 picolitres (pL)

Explanation:

According to the question, the volume of a bacterial cell is measured by a cell biologist to be 6.741*10^-10 L i.e. 0.0000000006741L (expanded form)

The volume in picolitres and Litres are interconvertible.

1 × 10^12 picolitres = 1L

Hence, 6.741 × 10^-10 L will be 6.741 × 10^-10 × 10^12 pL

= 6.741 × 10^ (12-10)

= 6.741 × 10^ (2)

= 6.741 × 10^2

= 674.1

Hence, the volume of the bacteria cell in 6.741 × 10^-10 L is 674.1 pL

it cools slower in the earth meaning the crystals have more time to form than lava on the surface
