Question Title

* 4. Please offer your explanation to the following questions:

a. What are the approximate sizes (e.g. diameter) of a cell, a molecule, and an atom?

b. Which property of the functionalized carbon in this experiment makes it particularly more useful than bulk carbon, e.g. the lead in your pencil?

c. Why do you have to wait 48 hours to see the bacteria on the Petri dish?

d. Where does the waste water from your house go?
