Reference no: EM13540057

The first accurate estimate of cell membrane thickness used a capacitive technique, which determined the capacitance per unit area of cell membrane in a macroscopic suspension of cells; the result was about 1 uF/cm^2. Assuming a dielectric constant of about 3 for the membrane, find the membrane's thickness.
