The table gives the energy transferred from each gram of glucose used by a badger's muscle cells.
| Type of respiration | Energy transferred from each gram of glucose in kJ\text{kJ}kJ |
|---|---|
| aerobic | 15.6 |
| anaerobic | 1.2 |
During a brief period of vigorous digging, the badger's forelimb muscles transferred 23.4 kJ of energy by anaerobic respiration.
Calculate the reduction in the mass of glucose used if this energy had been transferred by aerobic respiration.
