Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Pomegranate
A defined medium pomegranate 10 cm across using a 282 g whole-fruit reference mass. Cultivar and ripeness vary; the crown is visible but excluded from calibrated body diameter.
USDA FoodData Central — raw fruit portions
The marked defined fruit diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Nudibranch
A defined 10 cm dorid nudibranch specimen. Species range from millimetres to many centimetres; rhinophores and gill plume are included in the illustration but not the nose-to-tail calibration.
Smithsonian Ocean — Nudibranchs
The marked defined body length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 10 cm
For comparison, this page uses defined fruit diameter. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 8 cm to 12 cm.
