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

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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

This model accurately demonstrates that during cellular respiration, the matter (in the form of glucose and oxygen) is rearranged into new substances (carbon dioxide and water), while also showing that energy is released as a result of this process, and that the total mass remains conserved.
