0.654 moles of human body cells

A mole is defined as something containing a quantity equal to avagadro's number so using avagadro's number to find your answer...

The current population on Earth is estimated to be 6,571,498,093
multiply by 60 trillion (60 x 10^12) gives number of human cells...

3.94x10^23 human cells

Avagadro's number = 6.0222 x 10^23

3.94/6.022 = 0.654 moles of human body cells
