question

A chemist has an E. coli bacterium cell of cylindrical shape. It is 2\mu (microns) long and 1\mu in diameter and weighs 2 × 10^-12 g. (a) How many lipid molecules are present, assuming their average molecular weight to be 700 and lipid content to be 2%? (b) If the cell contains 15,000 ribosomes, what percent of the volume do they occupy? You may assume them to be spherical with a diameter of 180 \AA; also 10^4 \AA = 1 micron.
