Many sources say that the average human has 100 trillion cells in their body. So, one cell would be 1/100 trillionth of your entire body. I've also heard that the average cell contains 100 trillion atoms. That means your body contains roughly 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.

Which human cells never have 23 pairs of chromosomes?
Human sex cells which only have a haploid number of chromosomes. 23 total chromosomes. Red blood cells have no chromosomes also.
How much bacteria is in a body?
It is now known that a human body possesses more bacterial cells on its internal and external 'surfaces' than the total number of human body [somatic] cells that make it up : which is 200 trillion human cells per body.
How many chromosomes are in a human muscle cell?
Muscle cells are somatic cells, with the diploid number of cells it's 46 chromosomes.
Most of the cells in the human body are .?
diploid
How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?
I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
How does number of chromosomes in a human body cell compare with the number of chromosomes in a human reproductive cell?
In the human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total); in reproductive cells there are only one half of the pair (or 23 in total). During fertilization the 23 from the male sperm cell fuse with the 23 from the female ovule and recombine as two pairs of 23 chromosomes (46 again in total). Normal human cells are diploid (2n), while sex cells are haploid (n)
How many cells does a bone marrow have?
Bone marrow contains two types of stem cells: hemopoietic (which can produce blood cells) and stromal (which can produce fat, cartilage and bone). But the number of cells depend on which bone it is. The total number of cells in our body cannot be counted accurately However the total number of cell in an average human being is about 10^13 to 10^14
Which human cells never have 23 pairs of chromosomes?
Human sex cells which only have a haploid number of chromosomes. 23 total chromosomes. Red blood cells have no chromosomes also.
How many cells build up the human skin?
It is estimated that there are about 1.6 trillion cells that build up the human skin. The entire body has a total of 100 trillion cells with the sin taking 16 percent of the total.
What are the two types of cells in your body and how do they relate to the terms of haploid and diploid?
gametes and somatic cells???? gametes are haploid, which is half(23) of the normal human total(46). Somatic cells, are all other body cells and contain 46, or 23 pairs/sets of chromosomes.....Gametes are only used for reproduction, and are thus found in a fertile's body reproduction system...
How many DNA are in a human body?
Somatic cells (human body cells) have 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46

How many chromosomes are in a human muscle cell?
Muscle cells are somatic cells, with the diploid number of cells it's 46 chromosomes.
Do Body cells only have half the total number of chromosomes?
All body cells contain a total number of 46 chromosomes except sex cells (the egg and the sperm) which have half the number of chromosomes (23) no.... body cells or somatic cells have 46 chromosomes which is the diploid chromosome number of homo sapiens... gametes or sex cells have 23 chromosomes which is the haploid chromosome number...
How many chromosomes are present in human haploid and diploid cells?
human diploid numbers are 46 chromosomes (the total amount of chromosomes) and the haploid number is 23 (half the number of chromosomes) in meiosis the desired number is the haploid number for gametes (sex cells) and it becomes the diploid number after fertilization and for mitosis its the diploid number because it wants to maintain its chromosomes since its not sexual reproduction
