Answer 1

During cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water, and energy. The process produces 6 molecules of CO2 for every molecule of glucose.

If three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration, the calculation would be:

6 CO2 (from one glucose) x 3 glucose = 18 CO2

Therefore, the answer is 18.
