.............................................................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.(2 points)..........................

Answer 1

The chemical equation for cellular respiration, 6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy, shows that plants cycle matter as 6 molecules of oxygen (O2) and 6 molecules of glucose (C6H12O6) are consumed and converted into 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6 molecules of water (H2O) during the process, resulting in the release of energy.
