Question

Cumulative Problem 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume, $V=696.55\ \mu m^3$

Explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of a human cell is 11 μm

It is enclosed by a membrane that is 4,4 nm thick.

We need to find the volume of the cell. The cell is spherical in shape. The volume of a sphere is given by the formula as follows :

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

r is the radius of the sphere, r = 5.5 μm

So,

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (5.5)^3\\\\V=696.55\ \mu m^3$

So, the volume of the cell is $696.55\ \mu m^3$.
