a) Calculate the number of cells in a hummingbird assuming the mass of an average cell is ten times the mass of a bacterium. The mass of a hummingbird is of the order of 10−2kg and that of a bacterium is 10−15kg b) aking the same assumption, how many cells are there in a human if his mass is of the order of 102kg?

Step 1 a) The formula to find the numbers of cell in a humming bird is, number of cell=mass of hummingbirdmass of cell Step 2 Mass of hummingbird 10−2kg and the mass of a bacterium is 10−15kg. Therefore, mass of a cell is 10−14kg Substitute 10−2kg for mass of hummingbird and 10−14kg for mass of cell. number of cell=10−2kg10−14kg =1012 cells Hence, the number of cells in a hummingbird is 1012 cells Step 3 b) The mass of an average cell is 10−14kg Therefore, the numbers of in a human body is, number of cell=mass of humanmass of a cell Step 4 Substitute 10−2kg for mass of human and 10−14kg for mass of a cell. number of cell=102kg10−14kg =1016 cells Therefore, the number of cells in a human body is 1016

Average mass of the cell =10×mass of bacterium. Number of cell=Mass of humming birdmass of the cell a) The mass of a hummingbird is, while the mass of a cell is . The number of cells in the hummingbird is [10]−2[10×10]−15=[10]12 cells Number of cells in humming bird =1012 b) The mass of a person is. ([10]2kg)(10×[10]−15)=[10]16 cells Number of cells in human =1016
