Answer 1

The weight of the insulated, sealed container stays the same during the process of cellular respiration. Although gases like carbon dioxide are produced and consumed, the overall mass of the reactants and products within the sealed container remains constant due to the law of conservation of mass. Therefore, the correct response is:

stays the same.
