The diameter of a hydrogen is 10^−10m. Thickness of a cell membrane is 10^8 m.
The thickness in terms of atoms us,
The thickness in terms of atoms us, = d membrane/ 2* d(H-atom)
Substitute 10^−8 m for d(membrane) and 10^−10 m for d(H−atom)
Thickness in terms of atoms = 10^−8 m/2x10^-10 m
= 50 atoms
Hence, thickness of a cell membrane is equal to the combined thickness of 50 atoms
It is also called the plasma membrane. It protects the cell from the outer environment. It is a thin shell between the interior of all the cells and the environment.
