The width of the plant cell, 0.00001267 meters, is expressed in scientific notation as 1.267 × 10^{-5}. This involves moving the decimal to create a number between 1 and 10 and adjusting the exponent accordingly. Scientific notation is useful for representing very small or very large numbers compactly.
