How many glucose molecules does the cell in Problem 18 contain when its internal glucose concentration is 1.0mM ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of glucose molecules present in a cell with 1.0mM internal concentration for glucose molecule has 3.2 × 105molecules.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Glucose concentration is 1.0mM.

Molar concentration is 1.0 × 10-3 molL-1.

Volume is 5.24 ×10-16 L.

02

Calculate the number of glucose molecules

Number of Molecules = Molar Concentration ×Volume ×6.022 ×1023 molecules mol-1

= (1.0 × 10-3 molL-1)(5.24 ×10-16L)(6.022 ×1023 molecules mol-1)

= 3.2 ×105 molecules

03

Conclusion

As a result, in a cell with a 1.0mMinternal glucose concentration, there are 3.2 glucose molecules present.
