(a)
The volume of the cell.
Answer to Problem 48QAP
The volume of the cell including the membrane is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Diameter of the human cell is
Convert micrometer into meters.
The thickness of the cell membrane is
Convert nanometer into meters.
Formula used:
The formula to find the volume of the cell including membrane is,
Equation-1
Here,
Calculation:
First find the radius of the cell enclosed by membrane.
The radius of the cell enclosed by membrane is equal to sum of radius of cell plus thickness of membrane.
Convert unit of radius from meter to micrometer.
Next find the volume of the cell by substituting the value of radius in equation-1.
Conclusion:
Thus, form equation-2the volume of the cell including the membrane is
(b)
The volume of the cell membrane.
Answer to Problem 48QAP
The volume of the cell membrane is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The volume of the cell including the membrane is
Diameter of the human cell is
Formula used:
The formula to find the volume of the cell membrane is found by subtracting the volume of the cell form the volume of the cell with membrane.
Here,
Calculation:
First find the volume of the cell.
Next find the volume of the membrane using equation-4 and 3.
Conclusion:
Thus, form equation-5the volume of the cell membrane is
(c)
The percentage of volume occupied by the cell membrane.
Answer to Problem 48QAP
The cell membrane occupies
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The volume of the cell including the membrane is
The volume of the cell membrane is
Formula used:
The formula to find the percentage of volume occupied by the cell membrane is,
Equation-6
Calculation:
Substitute all known values in equation-6 to find the percentage of volume occupied by the cell membrane is,
Conclusion:
Thus, form equation-7cell membrane occupies
