Question

Assume that an average cell has a diameter of 6 micrometers (6x10^6 meter), which means it has a volume of 100 cubic n 10^10 cells per cm. Estimate the number of cells in a​ liter, using the fact that a cubic centimeter equals a milliliter.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.84*10^{12} cells in a liter

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cell  has a diameter of 6*10⁻⁶ m, then its volume is:

$V_{cell}=\frac{4\pi}{3}(\frac{d}{2})^3\ m^3=1.13*10^{-16}\ m^3= 1.13*10^{-10}\ cm^3$

If there are 1000 cubic centimeter in a liter, then we can obtain the amount of cells dividing the total volumen and the volume is takes every cell:
