Solution

To find out how long the sperm cell will appear under the microscope, you need to multiply the actual size of the sperm cell by the magnifying power of the microscope.

Step 1: Convert the size of the sperm cell from μm to mm. 1 μm = 0.001 mm. So, 5 μm = 5 * 0.001 mm = 0.005 mm.

Step 2: Multiply the size of the sperm cell in mm by the magnifying power of the microscope. 0.005 mm * 1500 = 7.5 mm.

So, the sperm cell will appear to be 7.5 mm long when viewed under a microscope with a magnifying power of x1500.
