Question #5a176

Answer 1

Pretty insignificant...

Explanation:

Average mass of one human cell is `10^-12kg` or 1 ng.

If 50 to 70 billion cells die in an average per day and if this loss in uncompensated,

`"Total mass lost" = 5times10^9times10^-12 " TO "7times10^9times10^-12`

`=0.05kg " To " 0.07kg` per day.

Average human weighs 70 kg.

So, percentage lost :
`0.05/70*100 " TO " 0.07/70*100`

`=>0.0714% " to " 0.1%` of our totally body mass per day is losy.
