The expression C. [tex]\pi (1)^{2} (0.5)[/tex] cubic [tex]\mu \mathrm{m}[/tex] represents the bacterium's volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The E. Coli bacterium is in the shape of a cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is given by multiplying π with the square of the radius (r²) and the height of the cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder, [tex]V=\pi r^{2} h.[/tex]
In the given diagram, E. Coli has a radius of 1 [tex]\mu \mathrm{m}[/tex] and a height of 0.5 [tex]\mu \mathrm{m}[/tex].
Step 2:
By substituting the values in the equation, we get
The volume of the E. Coli bacterium [tex]= \pi (1)^{2} (0.5)[/tex] cubic [tex]\mu \mathrm{m}[/tex].
This is option C.
