Question

human epithelium contain a layer of cube -shaped cells if the length , height, and width of such a cell is 1 micrometer (μm) ,what is its volume
A. 1 μm
B. 1 μm3
C. 6 μm3
D. 3 μm2

Answer 1

I think option (B) is correct.

Answer 2

The volume of the cells will be:

B) 1 μm³

• Epithelial tissues are the lining of the outer surface of organs and blood vessels.

• It is also found in the inner surfaces of many internal organs.

• The cells found in the human epithelium are cube-shaped.

• As per the question, the length, height, width of these cells is 1 micrometer, therefore the value of the volume the cells will be calculated as follows:

        The volume of cube = a³ (where a is the side of the cube)

                                           = (1 μm)³

                                           = 1 μm³
