Homework Help: biology

Hello,

I have a question. For one molecule of glucose are there six CO2 molecules released during cellular respiration? I'm looking at the kreb/ citric acid diagram and I'm not sure if it is four or six CO2 molecules being released. I'll appreciate your response. Thanks.

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "kreb citric acid diagram" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
