Answer:

1 mole

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the following question we must use the formula for aerobic respiration :

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Looking at this equation, you can see molar ratio between C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ is one to six. Meaning that if six moles of oxygen are devoured, one mole of glucose will be eaten.
