Answer 1

During cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) produces 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct.

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 answer is 18.
