Given data:

Mass of cofactor A in an average yeast cell = 96.15 pg

Now:

1 picogram (pg) = 1*10^{-12} g

1 microgram (ug) = 1*10^{-6} g

Therefore, 1 pg = 1*10^{-6}ug

Mass of cofactor A in one yeast cell = 96.15 * 10^{-6} micro gram

Number of cells in the yeast colony = 105

Therefore, the total mass of cofactor A is given as:

Number of cells * mass of cofactor A per cell

= 105 cells * 96.15 *10^{-6} micro grams/cell = 1.009 * 10^{-2} micro grams

When two or more substances combine, but each keeps it own properties,the new combination is called a (an)
Harman [31]

The new combination is called a mixture.

In mixtures, since the substances are not chemically combined together, they still remain their own physical and chemical properties, and can be separated by simple physical methods such as filtration or distillation.

On the other hand, if the two or more substances are combined where they get new properties, the new combination will be called a compound.  They cannot be separated by physical methods, but chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis.
