Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find out how much the student has magnified the chloroplast in her drawing.

Step 1: Convert the actual length of the chloroplast from micrometers (μm) to centimeters (cm) because the length of the drawing is given in cm. We know that 1 cm = 10,000 μm. So, 5 μm = 5/10,000 = 0.0005 cm.

Step 2: Find the magnification by dividing the length of the drawing by the actual length of the chloroplast. So, the magnification = 16 cm / 0.0005 cm = 32,000 times.

Step 3: Now, we need to find out how long 1 μm would be on this scale. Since the actual chloroplast is magnified 32,000 times, 1 μm on this scale would be 1 μm * 32,000 = 32,000 μm.

Step 4: Convert this length from μm to mm because the answer choices are given in mm. We know that 1 mm = 1,000 μm. So, 32,000 μm = 32,000/1,000 = 32 mm.

So, the length of the 1 μm scale bar should be 32 mm.
