Question

Within a cell, proteins are synthesized on particles called rhibozomes.Assuming rhibozomes r spherical,what is the volume in dm^3(cubic decimeter)of a rhibozome whose radius is 10.4nanometers? thanks

Answer 1

Refer to explanation

Explanation:

Ribosomes are spherical so you calculate the volume using the equation for the volume of a sphere.

`V= 4/3 pir^3`

Radius is 10.4nm so plug that into the equation to find to find its volume.

`V= 4/3 pi10.4^3`

`V = 4711.82 nm^3`

Then convert to `dm^3`.

`V =4.71182e^-21 dm^3`
