Given the mass of the cell is 1 * 10⁻¹⁴ kg, the number of cells in the 65 kg person is 6.5 * 10¹⁵ cells.
What is the number of cells in a person weighing 65 kg?
The number of cells in a human is calculated as follows:
The mass of an average cell is ten times the mass of a bacterium.
The mass of a bacterium = 1 * 10⁻¹⁵ kg
mass of an average cell = 10 * 1 * 10⁻¹⁵ kg = 1 * 10⁻¹⁴ kg
Number of cells = mass of person/mass of cell
Number of cells = 65 kg/1 * 10⁻¹⁴ kg
Number of cells = 6.5 * 10¹⁵ cells.
In conclusion, the number of cells is obtained by dividing the mass of the person by the mass of a average cell.
