Question

How does the chemical equation for cellular respiration demonstrate that plants cycle matter?(1 point)
Responses

It shows that plants store matter permanently as glucose and do not release it back into the environment.
It shows that plants store matter permanently as glucose and do not release it back into the environment.

It shows that plants create new atoms by breaking down glucose into energy, releasing extra matter into the environment.

It shows that plants absorb all matter

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**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 response accurately describes how cellular respiration in plants demonstrates the cycling of matter, as it highlights the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, where the products of one process serve as the reactants for the other, thereby conserving and cycling essential molecules.
