Answer:
When C1 is labeled in glucose, it ends up in the methyl group of pyruvate.
Aldolase cleaves a hexose into two trioses.

Asterisk indicates the label.
When C1 is labeled in glucose, it ends up in the carboxyl group of pyruvate.
You just have to find a conversion from amu to grams. For every 1 amu, there is 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams. Thus,
Mass of proton = 1.0073 amu * 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams/amu = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams
Since a proton is spherical in shape, the volume would be:
Volume = 1/6*πd³ = 1/6*π(1.0×10⁻¹⁵ cm)³ = 5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³
Therefore, the density is equal to
Density = Mass/Volume = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams/5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³
Density = 3.2×10²¹ g/cm³
