Amolecular biologist measures the mass of cofactor a in an average yeast cell. the mass is 96.15 pg . what is the total mass in micrograms of cofactor a in a yeast colony containing 105 cells? write your answer as a decimal.

Given data:

Mass of cofactor A in an average yeast cell = 96.15 pg

Now:

1 picogram (pg) = 1* g

1 microgram (ug) = 1* g

Therefore, 1 pg = 1*ug

Mass of cofactor A in one yeast cell = 96.15 * micro gram

Number of cells in the yeast colony = 105

Therefore, the total mass of cofactor A is given as:

Number of cells * mass of cofactor A per cell

= 105 cells * 96.15 * micro grams/cell = 1.009 * micro grams
