Suppose cellular respiration occurs inside an insulated sealed container. How does the containers weight change during the reaction?
Fluctuates
Increases
Stays the same
Decrease
1 answer
The container's weight would decrease during the reaction. This is because cellular respiration involves the conversion of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The products of the reaction, including carbon dioxide and water, would be released as gas, causing the overall weight of the container to decrease.
