Assume the carbon atoms in a molecule of glucose are radioactive. Referencing specific compounds, trace where the radioactive carbon atoms in glucose end up through the catabolic process of cellular respiration. Make sure to tally the number of molecules and the number of carbon atoms in each of them to ensure all carbon atoms in glucose are accounted for.
