Serway & Jewett β Physics and Measurement: Problem 30
(a) What is the order of magnitude of the number of microorganisms in the human intestinal tract? A typical bacterial length scale is \(10^{-6}\text{ m}\). Estimate the intestinal volume and assume \(1\%\) of it is occupied by bacteria. (b) Does the number of bacteria suggest whether the bacteria are beneficial, dangerous, or neutral for the human body? What functions could they serve?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) What is the order of magnitude of the number of microorganis; (b) Does the number of bacteria suggest whether the bacteria are
