A) mg
B) cm
C) µm
D) m
E) ml

Accepted Answer

The dimensions of cells and organelles are best described using micrometers (µm) as they are relatively small structures. Milligrams (mg) are used to measure the mass of substances, centimeters (cm) are used to measure length of larger objects, meters (m) are used for larger structures such as buildings and fields, and milliliters (ml) are used for measuring volume.
