Solution
-
"1 micrometer is the maximum resolution of light microscopy" - This statement is correct. The maximum resolution of a light microscope is about 0.2 micrometers, but 1 micrometer is within the range of resolution for light microscopy.
-
"1 micrometer is roughly the diameter of an animal cell" - This statement is incorrect. The average diameter of an animal cell is about 10-30 micrometers.
-
"1 micrometer is the smallest diameter of an object visible by a naked human eye" - This statement is incorrect. The smallest object that the human eye can see unaided is about 0.1 mm, or 100 micrometers.
-
"1 micrometer equals 0.001 millimeter" - This statement is correct. There are 1,000 micrometers in a millimeter, so 1 micrometer is indeed 0.001 millimeter.
