(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

- A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P3.7). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is = 35.0. How wide is the river?arrow_forward(a) One of lire fundamental laws of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force on it and inversely proportional to its mass. If the proportionality constant is defined to have no dimensions, determine the dimensions of force. (b) The newton is the SI unit of force. According to the results for (a), how can you express a force having units of newtons by using the fundamental units of mass, length, and time?arrow_forwardAssume it takes 7.00 min to fill a 30.0-gal gasoline tank, (a) (Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per second.
