Work Step by Step

a. Assume the heart is roughly a cube that is S=0.1 m on a side. The volume of the heart is $V=S^3$. The mass of the heart, assuming that it is 98 percent water and the rest is air, is $M = 0.98V \times \frac{1000kg}{m^3}=1\times10^0 kg$. b. Assume the cell is roughly a cube that is S=$0.5\times 10^{-6} m$ on a side. The volume of the cell is $V=S^3$. The mass of the cell, assuming that it is 98 percent water and the rest is air, is $M = 0.98V \times \frac{1000kg}{m^3}=1\times10^{-16} kg$. c. Assume the bee is roughly a cube that is S=$1\times 10^{-2} m$ on a side. The volume of the cell is $V=S^3$. The mass of the bee, assuming that it is 98 percent water and the rest is air, is $M = 0.98V \times \frac{1000kg}{m^3}=1\times10^{-3} kg$.
