Question

Your body uses about 24 grams of Glucose to run cellular respiration. How many molecules does your body need for cellular respiration?

Answer 1

for the cellular respiration the human body needs 1.424 E21 molecules of glucose

Step-by-step explanation:

mass glucose = 24 g

∴ Mw glucose = 180.156 g/mol

∴ 1 mol ≡ 6.022 E23 molecules

⇒ mol glucose = (24 g)×(mol/180.156 g) = 0.1332 mol glucose

⇒ molecules glucose = (0.1332 mol glucose)×(6.022 E23 molecules/mol)

⇒ molecules glucose = 1.424 E21 molecules
