Answer 2

2 glucose molecules can undergo cellular respiration when 13 O2 molecules are available to react.

CELLULAR RESPIRATION:

• Cellular respiration is the process by which living organisms obtain energy (ATP) by breaking down food molecules in their cells.

• Cellular respiration summarily involves the reaction of glucose molecules with oxygen molecules to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and energy as follows:

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

• Originally, 1 molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen

• If 13 molecules are available to react, this means that:

• 13/6 = 2.16

• = 2 molecules of glucose will react.

• Therefore, 2 glucose molecules can undergo cellular respiration when 13 O2 molecules are available to react.
