A) 10,000
B) 100,000
C) 1,000,000
D) 150,000

1 answer

To calculate the approximate total number of cells, add up the number of cells in each petri dish:
22,340 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,512
Therefore, the approximate total number of cells is 102,512.
None of the options provided match this value, so none of the options A), B), C), or D) are correct.
