To accurately demonstrate that matter is rearranged and energy is conserved during cellular respiration, the model would need to show:
**Glucose and oxygen breaking into carbon dioxide and water, showing that the mass remains the same and energy is released.**
This option correctly illustrates the chemical reaction of cellular respiration (glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water), emphasizes the conservation of mass (indicating that mass remains constant), and acknowledges that energy is released in the process.
