A typical platelet has a diameter of approximately 2.33 × 10–6 metre. Which has a greater diameter, a red blood cell or a platelet?

Answer:

A typical red blood cell has a diameter of approximately 7 × 10–6 metres.
A typical platelet has a diameter of approximately 2.33 × 10–6 metre. 

As 7 × 10–6 metres > 2.33 × 10–6 metre
