    7.826*10^14 molecules of ghrelin

    Explanation:

    Molarity of ghrelin = number of moles of ghrelin/volume of blood

    number of moles of ghrelin = Molarity of ghrelin * volume of blood = 1.3*10^-9 * 1 = 1.3*10^-9 moles

    From Avogadro's law

    1 mole of a substance (ghrelin) contains 6.02*10^23 molecules

    1.3*10^-9 moles of ghrelin contains 1.3*10^-9 * 6.02*10^23 = 7.826*10^14 molecules of ghrelin
