Problema Solution
ASsume that an average cell has a diameter of 6 micrometers, which means it has a volume of 100 cubic micrometers. How many cells are there in a cubic centimeter?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 cm = 10^4 micrometer
1 cm^3 = (10^4)^3 micrometer
1 cm^3 = 10^12 cubic micrometer
10^12 cubic micrometer divided by 100 cubic micrometer is:
10^12/10^2 = 10^10 cells
There are 10^10 cells in a cubic centimeter.
