2. Benzene
, C(6)H(6), is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid that is insoluble in water.Its boiling point is 80 degrees C (176 degrees F). In the past was obtained from the distillation of coal in the absence of air. Today most is made syntheticallyfrom petroleum products.

3. Cellular Respiration
begins with glucose. Glucose is the primary fuel used in glycolysis, the first stage of . This molecule is found in the gel-like substance called cytoplasm that fills the cell. In glycolysis, glucose undergoes phosphorylation by ATP. The ATP is converted back to ADP. The glucose molecule is rearranged and undergoes a second phosphorylation by ATP.
