Reference no: EM13696379

Solve the all given part of following question:

Question: A typical human cell is approximately 10 um in diameter and enclosed by a membrane that is 5.0 nm thick. To simplify the calculations, model the cell as a sphere.

Part I: What is the volume of the cell? (Include the membrane in your calculation.)

Part II: What is the volume of the cell membrane?

Part III: What percent of the cell volume does its membrane occupy?

Please show work and steps. Do not just copy paste from the internet. Thanks.
