Question
a typical eukarytic cell has a diameter of 50 microns while a corona virus particles has a diameter of 100 nanometers.
how many virus particles could be packed into the volum of the typical eurkaryotic cell? (assume the cell and the virus are spherical - V = 4/3 π R^3 and that the particles can use 100% of the space in the cell)
