How many molecules of oxygen are required for the aerobic respiration of three molecules of glucose?
A total of 18 molecules of oxygen (O\(_2\)) are required for the aerobic respiration of three molecules of glucose. According to the balanced equation for cellular respiration, C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\) + 6O\(_2\) → 6CO\(_2\) + 6H\(_2\)O,
1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of oxygen. Therefore, for three molecules of glucose, 3 x 6 = 18 molecules of oxygen are needed.
