During cellular respiration, one glucose molecule (C₆H₁₂O₆) produces 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Therefore, if three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration, the total amount of CO₂ produced can be calculated as follows:
\[
3 \text{ glucose molecules} \times 6 \text{ CO₂ molecules/glucose} = 18 \text{ CO₂ molecules}
\]
So the correct answer is **18**.
\[
3 \text{ glucose molecules} \times 6 \text{ CO₂ molecules/glucose} = 18 \text{ CO₂ molecules}
\]
So the correct answer is **18**.
