Question

Select One

How many CO2 molecules are produced when three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration?(1 point) Responses 12 12 6 6 3 3 18

Answer 1

During cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) produces 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2). If three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration, the total number of CO2 molecules produced can be calculated as follows:

\[ 6 \text{ CO2 molecules} \times 3 \text{ glucose molecules} = 18 \text{ CO2 molecules} \]

Therefore, the correct response is **18**.
