There are 2 moles. 13) If a person were to eat this much glucose all at once (that is a lot of sugar) and all this sugar enters the blood then the person's blood sugar concentration would rise. Imagine that all this glucose is released into the 5 liters of blood that circulate in this person. What would be the molarity of glucose in the blood?

Within these cells glucose is broken down in a series of steps releasing carbon dioxide along the way. For every molecule of glucose broken down how many molecules of carbon dioxide are created? Refer to the cellular respiration equation: Equation for Cellular Respiration: How to break down a carb C6H12O6 + 60₂ 6CO₂ +6H₂O + Energy a glucose molecule + six oxygen molecules yield six carbon dioxide molecules + six water molecules + energy Click or tap here to enter text. 15) After this glucose is broken down the story does not end. Much of the energy that was stored in the glucose has been transferred to ATP. How many molecules of ATP can be generated from one molecule of glucose? Click or tap here to enter text. 16) 16) How many moles of ATP can be generated from one mole of glucose? (Hint: If you could make 25 ATP molecules from 1 molecule of glucose, then you could make 25 moles of ATP molecules from 1 mole of glucose molecules.) Click or tap here to enter text.

Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
