During cellular respiration, energy is released. What would a model need to show to accurately demonstrate that matter is rearranged, and energy is conserved in the process? (1 point)

O Glucose and oxygen breaking into carbon dioxide and water, showing that the mass remains the same and energy is released.

O Oxygen molecules combining with carbon atoms to create new substances without changing the mass.

Visuals showing that more energy is produced than consumed when water and carbon dioxide are combined to highlight the conservation of matter.

Energy being created as glucose is consumed and oxygen is used.

Explanation: Cellular respiration rearranges matter (reactants → products: C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O) while conserving energy (chemical energy is released as ATP/heat), not creating energy.
