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 amount of CO2 produced would be:

3 glucose molecules x 6 CO2 per glucose = 18 CO2 molecules.

Therefore, the correct response is:

18
