A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/20

Explanation
Typical size range of plant cell nucleus
Steps:
- Identify that plant cell nuclei measure 5-25 μm in diameter based on standard biology references.
- Note the question asks for length, which aligns with typical nuclear dimensions.
- Eliminate options outside the eukaryotic nucleus size range (usually under 50 μm).
- Select the value within the upper end of the typical range for plant cells.
Why B is correct:
- Plant cell nuclei average 10-25 μm, matching the standard size for eukaryotic nuclei in larger plant cells per cell biology definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Too small; typical minimum is around 5-10 μm, but 8 μm underestimates for many plant nuclei.
- C: Too large; exceeds the maximum observed nucleus size in plant cells.
- D: Excessively large at 800 μm, comparable to entire small cells, not organelles.
Final answer: B
