No.
1 μm = 1/1000000 m ⇒ 1000000 μm = 1 m
1 cm = 1/100 m ⇒ 100 cm = 1 m
⇒ 100 cm = 1000000 μm
⇒ 1 cm = 10000 μm
That is, one centimeter equals ten thousand micrometers.

A centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, a micrometer is 1/1,000,000. So there are 10,000 micrometers in one centimeter
The prefix "micro" means a millionth (1 / 1,000,000) The prefix "centi" means a hundredth (1 / 100). Which means a micrometer is smaller than a centimeter. So it would take 10000 micrometers to equal 1 centimeter.
One edge of a cubic centimeter (cm^3) can be calculated by taking the cube root of the volume of the cube. Since a cubic centimeter is equal to 1,000,000 cubic micrometers (1 cm^3 = 1,000,000 µm^3), the cube root of 1,000,000 is 100. Therefore, one edge of a cm cube is 100 micrometers long.
No. 1000 micrometres = 1 millimeter so 100 micrometres = 0.1 millimetres.
You've got the right idea, but exactly backwards. 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter
