Callie did a lab during which she investigated the difference in cellular respiration rates between two different types of corn: germinating and non-germinating. A germinating seed is one from which a plant has started to grow. A non-germinating seed is usually dry and a new plant has not yet emerged. The data that she gathered are displayed in the graph. After Callie obtained her original results, she wanted to dig deeper. She determined that the germinating corn seed had utilized 100 molecules of glucose in the first few seconds that she performed the experiment. If these data are accurate, how many carbon dioxide molecules would Callie expect to have been released as a waste during this same amount of time? Explain how you arrived at your answer. The formula for cellular respiration is shown below. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Answer:

I might be wrong but im guessing 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is one molecule of glucose used per 6 molecules of carbon dioxide released, if you have 100 molecules of glucose, then you multiply the carbon dioxide by 100 which is 600. Thats what I would say but I might be wrong.
