During cellular respiration, the overall process converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. However, since the reaction is occurring in a sealed, insulated container, the total mass of the reactants (glucose and oxygen) and products (carbon dioxide and water) remains constant due to the law of conservation of mass.

Therefore, the weight of the container will stay the same.
