The Process of Cellular Respiration

The Process of Cellular Respiration

Organisms use food to make chemical energy in their bodies. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, molecules of food undergo chemical reactions to release stored energy in the form of ATP. Organisms use the ATP energy to live and grow. Cellular respiration conserves energy as it moves through an organism. Using the products of photosynthesis, glucose and oxygen, the organism forms new products of carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

The formula for cellular respiration is shown.



Multiple Choice Question

Which claim can be supported using the equation for cellular respiration?

A. 

The products have less matter than the reactants.

B. 

Matter is created as an organism processes food.

C. 

The reactants have more energy than the products.

D. 

Matter is conserved as it moves through an organism.

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct answer is:

**D. Matter is conserved as it moves through an organism.**

The equation for cellular respiration shows that the reactants (glucose and oxygen) are transformed into the products (carbon dioxide and water), with no loss of matter, just a change in form. This supports the claim that matter is conserved in the process.
