I’m pretty sure the answer is A
Answer:
a. Approximate umber of atoms = 10¹¹
b. number of atoms = 50 atoms thick
Note: The question is missing some parts. The complete question is as follows; Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium. Assume that the average mass of an atom in the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom. (Hint: The mass of a hydrogen atom is on the order of 1×10⁻²⁷ kg and the mass of a bacterium is on the order of 1×10⁻¹⁵ kg)
Explanation:
a. Approximate umber of atoms = mass of bacterium / 10 * mass of hydrogen
number of atoms = 10⁻⁵/ 10 × 10⁻²⁷
number of atoms = 10¹¹ atoms
b. The cell membrane is 10-8 m thick while the hydrogen atom has a diameter of 10-10 m.
The number of atoms in the cell membrane = d1 / 2 × d2
where d1 = diameter of cell membrane; d2 = diameter of hydrogen atom
The number of atoms in the cell membrane = 10⁻ / 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 50 atoms
