Question

How much time will it take for one baker's yeast cell dividing every 5 hours to get to the mass of a human? (We will suppose that they have access to an unlimited amount of nutrients and enjoy the perfect conditions for growth that gives them a 5 hour generation time)* First state the time in capital letters, then succinctly explain your hypotheses, rationale and show your calculations Your answer SUBMIT Never submit passwords through Google Forms This form was created inside of Brooklyn College.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Baker’s yeast cells’s average mass=60*10^-12 g

According to Wikipedia Average mass of human is 70 kg

Hence, number of yeast cell=(mass of human body/average mass of Baker’s yeast)

=(80.4*10^3)/(60*10^-12)

=1.1666×10^15 yeast cell

=1.666×10^15=2^n

log (1.1666*10^15) = n*log(2)

log(1.1666*10^15)/log(2) = n

50.0512314026 = n

Cell cycle=50.0512314026

And time =50.0512314×5

=250.25615 hours.
