Question

Diameter of pollengrains is?

K SURESH KUMAR · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant Biology (specifically palynology - the study of pollen)
	**Related Topics**: Plant Reproduction, Microscopy, Allergens
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant structures and size scales.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks for the diameter range of pollen grains.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the general size range of pollen grains.
		Reasoning: Pollen grains are microscopic, but their size varies considerably between species.
	2. Consider the given options and eliminate those outside the typical range.
		Working: Options C (always greater than 200 micrometers) and D (less than 1 micrometer) are outside the typical range for the vast majority of pollen.
		Key Point: While some pollen can be larger or smaller, the majority fall within a specific range.
	3. Identify the option that accurately represents the typical diameter range.
		Result: Option A (2.5-200 micrometers) encompasses the typical diameter range of pollen grains.
		Verification: This range is consistent with scientific literature and observations.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: This option correctly states the typical diameter range of pollen grains, encompassing the vast majority of species.
[B] :x: While 10 micrometers falls within the possible range, it's incorrect to say pollen grains are *exactly* 10 micrometers.  Pollen size varies significantly.
[C] :x: Some pollen grains might exceed 200 micrometers, but the vast majority do not. This option is too broad and inaccurate.
[D] :x: Some particles associated with plants might be smaller than 1 micrometer, but pollen grains themselves are generally larger.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Assuming all pollen is the same size: Pollen size varies greatly between species.  Don't assume uniformity.
		2. Confusing pollen with other microscopic particles:  Ensure you're considering actual pollen grains, not other plant debris.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Visualize the scale: Micrometers are very small.  Comparing pollen size to other known microscopic objects (e.g., dust mites) can be helpful.
		2. Remember the range: 2.5-200 micrometers is a good general range to remember for pollen grain diameters.
