Question
How does the chemical equation for cellular respiration demonstrate the plants cycle matter?
A. It shows that plants absorb all matter from the soil without cycling it back into the air.
B. It shows that plants create new atoms by breaking down glucose into energy, releasing extra matter into the environment.
C. It shows that plants store matter permanently as glucose and do not release it back into the environment.
D. It shows that the same molecules used in photosynthesis are rearranged during cellular respiration, conserving matter and cycling molecules like glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water.

The correct answer is:
**D. It shows that the same molecules used in photosynthesis are rearranged during cellular respiration, conserving matter and cycling molecules like glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water.**
This choice highlights how matter is conserved and cycled in the ecosystem, with plants using the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) in cellular respiration to produce energy, while also releasing carbon dioxide and water, which are then used again in photosynthesis.
