(e) The cheek cell in Figure 2 is magnified 250 times.

The width of the cell is shown by the line D to E.

Figure 2

Calculate the width of the cheek cell in micrometres (µm).

Complete the following steps.

Measure the width of the cell using a ruler .......................................... mm

Use the equation to work out the real width of the cell in mm:

real size = ............................................ mm

Convert mm to µm ............................................. µm
