Question

make it sound like a 7th grader wrote it

Answer 1

The chemical equation for cellular respiration in plants, which is 6 molecules of oxygen plus 6 molecules of glucose equals 6 molecules of carbon dioxide plus 6 molecules of water plus energy, shows that plants recycle matter by using 6 oxygen molecules and 6 glucose molecules to produce 6 carbon dioxide molecules, 6 water molecules, and energy.
