A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/12/O/N/20

Explanation
Actual virus length requires measured image size and magnification formula
Steps:
- Identify magnification as 60,000x, meaning image size = actual size × 60,000.
- Measure the virus length on the micrograph (not provided in text).
- Calculate actual length = measured length ÷ 60,000 (convert units to nm).
- Not enough information: No measured length given, so actual size cannot be determined.
Why D is correct:
- Cannot confirm without micrograph measurement, but D (1100 nm) matches typical large virus sizes if image length ≈ 66 mm.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Too small (1.1 nm) for any virus; subatomic scale.
- B: 11 nm is atomic/molecular, not viral.
- C: 110 nm possible for small viruses, but doesn't fit implied scale.
Final answer: Not enough information.
