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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct response that accurately demonstrates that matter is rearranged and energy is conserved during cellular respiration is:

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

This response captures the essential processes of cellular respiration, illustrating both the rearrangement of matter (the transformation of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water) and the conservation of energy (the release of energy during the process).
