Answer:

The correct option is: carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Explanation:

Cellular respiration refers to the process of generation of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from various nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Aerobic cellular respiration involves the oxidation of nutrients such as glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), by molecular oxygen (O₂) to give carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O) and heat energy.

Reaction involved: (glucose) C₆H₁₂O₆ (s) + 6 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (l) + heat energy

<u>Therefore, in a cellular respiration, all the carbon atoms of the glucose molecules, form carbon dioxide.</u>

An orbital is the space occupied by a pair of electrons.<br> true or false??

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An orbital is is the space occupied by a pair of electrons. The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is 2.

The maximum number of electrons in in the orbitals are two.

For s-sublevel with one orbital we have two electrons

p-sublevel with three orbitals we have six electrons

d - sublevel with five orbitals we have ten electrons

f - sublevel with seven orbitals we have fourteen electrons

Each orbital can take a maximum of two electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

1.2 × 10²⁴ molecules C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 1.2 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
Divide: $\displaystyle 1.99269 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6$
