remember the law of conservation of mass. the human body uses cellular respiration to make energy using the chemical equation for cellular respiration explain how the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide inhaled by the lungs is different from the amounts exhaled. explain your answer in 1-2 sentences

Answer 1

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of matter remains constant in a closed system. In cellular respiration, the human body takes in oxygen (O2) and releases carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct, resulting in a net decrease of inhaled oxygen and an increase in exhaled carbon dioxide.
