QUANTUM BIOLOGY - EXAMPLE 33.4 : (a) According to Landauer (1986), the capacity of human memory is approximately X bits. Assume that a human retains 2 bits / second of visual, verbal, tactile and musical memory, find the value of X if a human lifetime is approximately 2.5 billion seconds. (b) The total power consumption of the human brain is about 25 Watts. The bread of 100 grams will produce 1000 kilojoules of energy. How much bread is needed to run a human brain for 1 day?

QUANTUM BIOLOGY - ANSWER 33.4 : (a) Let X = human memory / second x human lifetime, then X = 2 bits / second x 2.5 billion seconds = 5 billion bits. (b) One day has 24 hours or 24 hours x 3600 seconds / hour = 86400 seconds. Let Watt = Joule / second. Total energy consumption of human brain per day = 25 Joules / second x 86400 seconds = 2160000 Joules = A. Energy generation of bread = 1000000 Joules / 100 grams = 10000 Joules / gram = B. Mass of bread needed to run a 25 Watt human brain for 1 day = A / B = 216 grams.
