Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given:
a human brain weighs = 1 kg ; = 1000 grams
Number of cells = 10¹¹ cells
The density of water filled in each cell = 1 g/mL
From above;
the weight of each of the brain cell = total weight of the human brain/the number of cells
the weight of each of the brain cell = 1000/10¹¹
the weight of each of the brain cell = 1 × 10⁻⁸ grams
Now, to calculate the quantity of water in each cell; we have:
= the weight of each brain × density
=
For cube; we know that
1 mL = 1 cm³
Thus:
Recall that; the volume of a cube as well =
where;
x = length of each sides
∴
=
x = 0.0022 cm
Thus, the length of each side of the cell = 0.0022 cm
The surface area of a single cell = x²
The surface area of a single cell = (0.0022 cm)²
The surface area of a single cell = 4.84 × 10⁻⁶ cm²
Therefore, the total surface area of is:
=
=
= 50 m²
