How many phospholipid molecules needed to make cell membrane


How many phospholipid molecules with an area of 8 X 10^-19 m^2 are needed to make the cell membrane for a cell of 10um diameter. for a cell, you want a phospholipid bilayer, so you need twice as many molecules as for a monolayer. What is the formula for the surface area of a sphere?
