Question

Mycoplasma are the smallest cells known. Their volumes are ~ 2 X 10-17 L. If the glucose concentration in a typical mycoplama is 1.0 mM. How many molecules of glucose are present in a mycoplasma cell?

Answer 1

6.022 x 10^20 molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the number of molecules that are present in one mole of any substance is 6.022 x 10^23. So, if the concentration is 1.0mM, it means it is 1000 times less than a mole. So, simply divide 6.022 x 10^23 by a factor of 1000 or 10^3 and you'll get your answer.
