Chapter 13, Problem 13Q
Summary Introduction

To explain: How many oxygen molecules the cell consumes to produce 109 ATP molecules every minute.

Introduction: In cellular respiration, with the help of oxygen, cells break down the glucose molecule into simpler forms. From the oxidation of glucose, water and carbon dioxide are exhaled with some chemical energy in the form of ATP and small amount of heat. The reaction is represented as follows:

C6H12O6(glucose)+6O26CO2 +6H2O+energy

Summary Introduction

To explain: How long it will take before the cell has used up an amount of oxygen gas equal to its own volume.
