The complete oxidation of glucose (c6h12o6) to carbon dioxide and water in aerobic respiration consumes how many molecules of oxygen (o2)? the complete oxidation of glucose (c6h12o6) to carbon dioxide and water in aerobic respiration consumes how many molecules of oxygen (o2)?
a. 1.
b. 3.
c. 6.
d. 12.
e. 36.

The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an organic compound reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

This reaction is also known as oxidation reaction.

The chemical equation for the combustion/oxidation of glucose molecule follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen gas to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide gas and 6 molecules of water.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

the atomic number of magnesium is 12. its nucleus must contain 12 protons and no electrons. the atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons.

magnesium is an electrolyte injection commonly used to treat low magnesium levels in your blood. it is also used to prevent or control seizures in women with preeclampsia or eclampsia.
