How many CO2 molecules are produced when three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration? Explan
1 answer:
Answer:
<u>18 molecules of </u><u />
Explanation:
In heterotrophic nutrition, organisms ingest or absorb food made by autotrophs to obtain energy. Planta and other photosynthesizing organisms make sugars via photosynthesis, in a form of (partly) light-dependent biosynthesis.
In mitochondria, they break down sugars through aerobic respiration. For the sugar glucose, this results in the production of carbon dioxide and water along with energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP
glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
For 3 molecules of glucose, multiply the number of reactants and products...
(C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP ) x 3
Thus...
3 C6H12O6+ 18 O2 → 18 CO2 + 18 H2O + ≅114 ATP

Answer:
The sympathetic chain contains a group of cell bodies called the sympathetic chain GANGLIA. This structure contains a second cell body for the sympathetic nervous system, the first in the series being found in the THORACOLUMBAR REGIONS' lateral horn of spinal segments T1-L2. The purpose of the VENTRAL AND DORSAL rami is to carry visceral motor and visceral sensory neurons to and from this sympathetic chain.
Explanation:
The sympathetic trunks (sympathetic chain, gangliated cord) are a paired bundle of nerve fibers that run from the base of the skull to the coccyx.
