Answer 1

During cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) produces 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2). Therefore, if three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration, the total production of CO2 would be:

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

So the correct answer is 18.
