Question

what is the volume of a cuboidal cell that measures 5 μm on each side? multiple choice 125 μm² 25 μm² 25 μm³ 125 μm³ 5 μm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a cube (since a cuboidal cell with equal sides is a cube). The volume \( V \) of a cube is given by \( V = s^3 \), where \( s \) is the length of a side.

Here, \( s = 5\ \mu\text{m} \).

Step2: Substitute the value of \( s \) into the formula.

\( V=(5\ \mu\text{m})^3 = 5\times5\times5\ \mu\text{m}^3=125\ \mu\text{m}^3 \)

Answer:

D. \( 125\ \mu\text{m}^3 \) (assuming the last option with \( 125\ \mu\text{m}^3 \) is option D; if the options are labeled differently, adjust the label but keep the value)
