COLOR I HEME 2. Respiration is the process by which plant and animal cells make energy by reacting glucose
(C6H1206) with oxygen (O2). In addition to energy being released, carbon dioxide and
water vapor are produced. The balanced chemical reaction for respiration is shown below.

If an organism ingests 950.0 g of glucose (C6H1206) in its lifetime, how many grams of
carbon dioxide (CO) will be released?
(molar mass CH1206 = 180.156 g/mol) (molar mass CO2 = 44.009 g/mol)
