3. A microbiologist measures the speed of a swimming bacterium. The bacterium covers a distance of 3.16 microns in 8.0 seconds. The biologist wished to compare the speed of the bacteria with other animals, but the speeds of other animals are listed in kilometers per hour. What is the speed of the bacterium in kilometers per hour? (1 micron = 1 x 10-6 m) Use scientific notation and express your answer to the correct number of significant figures. Show equations and units, but do not use paragraph format. You must show your work for full credit. 3. A microbiologist measures the speed of a swimming bacterium.
