A molecular biologist measures the mass of cofactor A in an average yeast cell. The mass is 24.7pg. What is the total mass in micrograms of cofactor A in a yeast colony containing 10^5 cells?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

In [tex]10^{5}[/tex] cells you will have:

24.7 pg x [tex]10^{5}[/tex] =2.47x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] pg

1 pg equals [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] micrograms, so in  [tex]10^{5}[/tex] cells you will have:

1 pg ----------- [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] micrograms

2.47x[tex]10^{6}[/tex] ---------- x = 2.47 micrograms
