Because communication involves two or more people acting in both sender and receiver roles and because their messages are dependent on and influenced by those of their partner means that communication is .

For example, if consider this.

Sender: How old are you?

e/c, where e is its total energy

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
