Bobby and James were suffering from headaches. At seven o’clock, Bobby took the recommended two tablets of medicine for his headache; James took a dose of the powdered form of the same medicine. Using the assumption that the medicine effectively cures a headache, which person’s headache is likely to subside first? Use details and data from the students’ experiment and your prior knowledge to explain why you think this is.

James headache will subside first

Explanation: powder medicines usually get absorbed faster therefore having a quicker effect

thermal energy is the answer

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
