Answer 1

During cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is broken down to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂).

If three glucose molecules are used, the total number of CO₂ produced would be:

3 glucose molecules × 6 CO₂/glucose = 18 CO₂ molecules.

Therefore, the correct response is:

18.
