Answer 1

During cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) produces 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Therefore, if three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration, the total number of CO₂ molecules produced would be:

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

So, the correct answer is 18.
