Evaluate the average volume of a brain cell

Reference no: EM13552448

Consider that the human brain weighs about 1 kg and contains 1011 cells. Assuming that each cell is entirely filled with water, and knowing that 1 cm3 of water weighs 1g, calculate the average volume of a brain cell (in picoliters).
