In one or two sentences, explain how the chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter. Include the numbers of molecules and atoms involved to support your explanation.? (Write it like a 7th grader)

Answer 1

In cellular respiration, plants use one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and six molecules of oxygen (O2) to make six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and six molecules of water (H2O). This shows that plants take in carbon dioxide and water, use them to make glucose, and then release carbon dioxide and water back into the environment, completing the cycle of matter.
