A cell uses 9.6 × 104 molecules of ATP to build large molecules. Three-fifths of this ATP is supplied by aerobic respiration and the rest by anaerobic respiration. Each glucose molecule produces about 30 molecules of ATP by aerobic respiration and 2 molecules of ATP by anaerobic respiration.
Calculate the total number of glucose molecules the cell needs.
