How many molecules (approx) would it take to create the average human being?



Answers:
Since we are mostly water, figure how many water molecules in 150 lbs. One mole of watr is 18 grams and ahas 6 x 10^23 molecules. There are 454 gm/lb so its 2.3 x 10^27.
trillions
GIVE OR TAKE A FEW,THE AVERAGE IS ABOUT =111,886,009
more than i can count on my fingers
About 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,99. So not too many
2,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,.
Lots.Why, you thinking of making one up in the garden shed?
Simple this is -get a chess board o/k, put the first molecule on the first square, on the next square put two, on the next square double it put four,on the next double it again eight,on the next double again, IE sixteen and carry on thru,doubling each time until the last square and then, add them all up.
That will give you your answer,
Good-look
500,000,000,000,000,000,000

This assumes that there are 10,000 trillion cells in the average human

If we also assume that there are at least 100,000,000 protein molecules in each cell

'Typically a cell will contain some 20 thousand different types of protein, and of these about 2 thousand types will be represented by at least 50 thousand molecules'

If we only count those protein's present in amounts of 50,000 each the total is a minimum of 100 million
none. we don't really exist
