what is the relationship between the number of human cells versus the number of bacterial cells on and in the human body?
a there are more human cells
b there are more bacterial cells
c we have about the same number of each

Explanation:

Research indicates that bacteria inhabit various parts of the human body (e.g., skin, gut). Estimates show that bacterial cells outnumber human cells. For instance, the gut microbiota alone consists of trillions of bacterial cells. Human cells (e.g., somatic cells like muscle, nerve cells) are numerous but calculations considering all bacterial symbionts (on skin, in respiratory tract, etc.) show bacteria have higher numbers.

Answer:

B. there are more bacterial cells
