I think this is how you do it:
Answer:The citric acid cycle is the final common pathway for the aerobic oxidation of fuel molecules. Moreover, as we will see shortly (Section 17.3) and repeatedly elsewhere in our study of biochemistry, the cycle is an important source of building blocks for a host of important biomolecules. As befits its role as the metabolic hub of the cell, entry into the cycle and the rate of the cycle itself are controlled at several stages.

A.evidence to the existence of life
Explanation:
Answer:
Mass of H₂O is 3.0g
Explanation:
The reaction equation is given as:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Parameters that are known:
Mass of CO₂ used = 7.3g
Unknown: mass of water consumed = ?
Solution
To solve this kind of problem, we simply apply some mole concept relationships.
- First, we work from the known to the unknown. From the problem, we have 7.3g of CO₂ that was used. We can find the number of moles from this value using the expression below:
Number of moles of CO₂ =
- From this number of moles of CO₂, we can use the balanced equation to relate the number of moles of CO₂ to that of H₂O:
6 moles of CO₂ reacted with 6 moles of H₂O(1:1)
- We can then use the mole relationship with mass to find the unknown.
Workings
>>>> Number of moles of CO₂ =?
Molar mass of CO₂ :
Atomic mass of C = 12g
Atomic mass of O = 16g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2 x16) = 44gmol⁻¹
Number of moles of CO₂ = = 0.166moles
>>>>>> if 6 moles of CO₂ reacted with 6 moles of H₂O, then 0.166moles of CO₂ would produce 0.166moles of H₂O
>>>>>> Mass of water consumed = number of mole of H₂O x molar mass
Mass of H₂0 = 0.166 x ?
Molar mass of H₂O:
Atomic mass of H = 1g
Atomic mass of O = 16
Molar mass of H₂O = (2x1) + 16 = 18gmol⁻¹
Mass of H₂O = 0.166 x 18 = 3.0g
