QUESTION:
(a) Calculate the number of cells in a hummingbird assuming the mass of an average cell is ten times the mass of a bacterium.
(b) Making the same assumption, how many cells are there in a human?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
In this question, we are to find number of cells humming bird and human , assuming mass of one cell is 10 times mass of bacterium
Data
Mass of bacterium cell \(m_{b}=10^{-15} \mathrm{~kg}\)
Mass of humming bird \(=m_{h b}=10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}\)
Mass of human \(m_{H}=10^{2} \mathrm{~kg}\)
