Problem Set 1 Solutions: Chapters 1 1 Cell sizes: E. coli is a cylindrical bacteria with 1 M wide and 2 M long. Liver cells are approximately spherical with a diameter of 20 M. Plant palisade cells are cylinders 20 M wide and 35 M long. A) Calculate the volumes of each cells? A) Since E.Coli is cylindrical Volume of a cylinder = r2h‚ where r is half of bacterial width/diameter = 1M/2 = 0.5M and h is the length of the bacteria

made from burning coal. For every 22 tonnes of uranium used in the nuclear power plant‚ one million tonnes of CO2 emissions isn’t put into the environment. If the world doubled its nuclear output‚ it would reduce CO2 emissions by about a fourth. Nuclear energy uses less than 6% of their output energy to make their nuclear power plant run. Wind power would usually cost up to two times more per kWh than nuclear power plants. Many people fear nuclear energy. Some fear that the transportation of uranium
